Another Great Reason to Visit Norfolk: The Harper Welcomes Two Culinary Stars
Norfolk’s beloved boutique luxury hotel, The Harper, is raising the bar this autumn with two exciting new arrivals set to transform its dining scene. Executive Chef Jack Gosling and Food & Beverage Manager Rui Pereira are bringing world-class talent, bold flavours, and thoughtful service to this stylish coastal retreat.
Hailing from Norfolk, Jack’s globetrotting culinary journey has seen him master kitchens from Australia to Asia, Central America, and the Netherlands—where he honed his craft for six years at the acclaimed two-Michelin-starred Spectrum in Amsterdam’s Waldorf Astoria. Now back home, Jack blends international inspiration with Norfolk’s finest seasonal produce, promising menus that are fresh, innovative, and deeply rooted in East Anglia’s rich landscape.
Joining Jack is Rui Pereira, a seasoned Head Sommelier and hospitality expert with experience at London’s Michelin-starred restaurants and exclusive members’ clubs, including City Social and The Royal Automobile Club. Rui’s passion for exceptional service and expertly curated wine lists means guests can expect a dining experience that’s both refined and welcoming.
Together, these two are set to make The Harper a must-visit destination for food lovers, adding yet another delicious reason to explore the charm and beauty of Norfolk this season.
