Last week, Head Chef Russell Pearce said farewell to the team at Easterbrook to embark on his own restaurant project in his hometown Moffat - Brodies. Russell came to Easterbrook in 2007 and transformed the culinary offerings at Easterbrook with his passion for 'wow' factor food and claimed his most memorable accolade by cooking for her majesty the Queen at Easterbrook last July. We wish Russell the best of luck and we can't wait to visit his new restaurant!
Before Russell departed he spent a few weeks with our new Head Chef Jonathan Brett who is settling in to Easterbrook life well and keep posted for a full introduction to Jonathan to find out what he is most looking forward to and what is signature style is.

Can you believe it - it’s been 4 years since Easterbrook Hall first opened its doors after a £2million re-development which saw the building truly transformed into a modern stylish Wedding and Conference facility it is today.
If you have never see our DVD – have a look, we think the grounds and Church look particularly stunning and makes appreciate what a fabulous site it is!
What about the 'old' Easterbrook? Well the original Easterbrook Hall opened in 1938, having been in planning for over 20 years, it was the brainchild of Dr Charles Easterbrook – the dynamic medical superintendent in charge of the Crichton Royal hospital from 1907 to 1937. The idea behind Easterbrook was conceived following extensive research in the USA and Canada into providing recreational facilities for mental health patients. So - like the rest of the fascinating buildings here on the Crichton site, it was pioneering in its day!

Don't forget to visit the main hall at Easterbrook this Sunday where Russell will be preparing some healthy treats from the Easterbrook stand and Laura will be on hand with all of the latest news and offers from Easterbrook Hall. The weather is looking pretty good for the run and could be quite hot so remember the water!
Best of luck to all participants and we look forward to see you there.
