Prior to joining Adare Manor, he spent four years at Midsummer House (two Michelin stars), working alongside Chef Patron Daniel Clifford. Sofian's top-quality ingredients are meticulously sourced and selected with most coming from a 1-acre eco-friendly country vegetable garden in Essex we added in 2021.
