We’re thrilled to share that Pawel Skrzypinski will be joining Cheal’s Restaurant as our new General Manager from 25th July.

Pawel brings with him a wealth of experience cultivated over an impressive career in some of the UK’s finest dining establishments.

Pawel brings to Cheal’s not only his deep expertise in delivering exceptional guest experiences but also a genuine passion for fine wine, refined service, and innovative hospitality leadership.

Pawel’s commitment to excellence extends far beyond day-to-day operations. With a deep passion for fine wine and impeccable service, he has earned significant accolades, including winning the Business, Hospitality and Tourism category in the Future Faces of Birmingham Awards. He has also been a finalist in the prestigious Academy of Culinary Arts Annual Award of Excellence and the celebrated Gold Service Scholarship, underscoring his talent and dedication to the craft of hospitality.

Our Chef Director, Matt Cheal, is especially excited about Pawel’s arrival, confident that Pawel’s wealth of expertise and shared passion for exceptional dining will bring fresh inspiration and even greater excellence to Cheal’s.
