EightyEight at Grantley Hall announces new head chef

Luxury hotel Grantley Hall has appointed Andy Lynam as head chef of Bar & Restaurant EightyEight, its pan-Asian dining experience.

Lynam joined the Grantley Hall culinary team in 2024 as sous chef and quickly established himself as a driving force in the EightyEight kitchen. Now stepping into the head chef role, Lynam brings a refined, modern approach to ingredient-led cooking.

Inspired by childhood holidays to France and a professional journey that includes positions at renowned establishments, including The Box Tree in Ilkley, The Wild Rabbit in the Cotswolds and The Devonshire Arms at Bolton Abbey, Lynam’s cuisine is both thoughtful and bold.

"EightyEight is such a special place to cook – it’s a space that allows for playfulness and creativity while respecting quality and provenance," he says. "I’m honoured to take on this new role and am looking forward to leading our talented team as we craft a new seasonal menu that showcases the best of what we do."
