Blogg joined Gravetye Manor in 2014 and attracted a Michelin star the following year. The star has been retained for the past nine years with the hotel now also holding four AA Rosettes.
He will be leaving Gravetye Manor – which is close to East Grinstead – in December.
Recruitment for ‘this special and rare opportunity’ is ongoing with applicants interested in applying for the role being encouraged to contact general manager Paul Skinner.
“Gravetye is a magical place that will forever be a part of who I am. The last 10 years have been an incredible journey and an utter privilege to work alongside some truly amazing people, whose passion and hard work have grown Gravetye to be a standout property,” Blogg says.
“I am excited for the future but will miss Gravetye immensely. I am proud of the countless guest experiences we have created, and I know that Gravetye will continue to thrive. I would like to thank the owners, Elizabeth and Jeremy Hosking, and Andrew Thomason (general manager from 2012-2022) for the faith and mentorship that they provided me.”
Owners Jeremy and Elizabeth Hosking added: “George has been an influential and key member of the Gravetye team for over ten years and we have much to thank and congratulate him for. It’s bittersweet to see him go but we are hugely grateful for everything he has achieved and the dedication he has given to both his colleagues and to our guests at Gravetye. George will be a hard act to follow, and we wish him all the best.”
