Langley Castle has appointed its first-ever culinary director.
The appointment is part of a new "from field to fortress" culinary strategy marking a bold new direction for the 14th-century castle hotel, located near Hexham.
Scottish chef Mark Greenaway, known for his appearances on Great British Menu, Saturday Kitchen, and Sunday Brunch, will take on the new role.
Mohamed Serag, general manager of Langley Castle, said: "The castle has never had a culinary director at the helm, which demonstrates our intention to make Langley Castle one of the key places to head for an experience that intertwines 676 years of history with extraordinarily delightful, fresh and seasonal food.
"Attracting Mark Greenaway to Langley Castle has been a real coup in what is our 40th anniversary year as a hotel and restaurant."
Mr Greenaway, who opened his first restaurant in Edinburgh in 2011 and later launched Plant in Covent Garden, said he was excited by the challenge.
He said: "The message is for food-lovers to make a bee line for Northumberland and understand the role that food can play in enriching a stay at a venue that is truly like no other.
"Our intention is to create memories on a plate."
