The Plettenberg appoints Executive Chef

The Plettenberg has appointed Ewald Schulenburg as Executive Chef at The Plettenberg.

He trained at Warwick’s Chefs Training School in Hermanus and comes with 17 years’ experience. He started his career at Arabella Hotel & Spa, followed by Simola Golf Country Estate & Spa and Fancourt on the Garden Route, before his appointment as Executive Chef at The Cradle Boutique Hotel in Lanseria. This was followed by a stint at Brahman Hills in Nottingham Road/Midlands and most recently, at the Drostdy Hotel in Graaf Reinet as Executive Chef overseeing De Camdeboo Restaurant.

Schulenberg believes that ‘simple, clean and authentic dishes are best’. He oversees the kitchen of hotel’s newly revamped restaurant, Amelia’s at The Plettenberg where the menu is described as an exploration of flavours, ranging from seafood and grills to the classics. He also brings to the table a fresh take on signature dishes of The Liz McGrath Collection, such as the Bouillabaisse Seafood Soup, Dalewood Huguenot Cheese Soufflé and Pan Seared South Atlantic Ocean Tuna.
