Herve Stouvenel – Head Chef
The kitchen at The Brisley Bell has become one of Norfolk’s most celebrated pub dining destinations. A finalist in the prestigious Craft Guild of Chefs Awards 2026, Hervé was instrumental in The Bell winning Great British Pub of the Year 2021, and much national recognition since.
Known for his bold, flavour-driven cooking, Hervé blends British favourites with refined French technique and global influences. Passionate about exceptional Norfolk produce, he works closely with local farmers and suppliers to create daily changing menus that are seasonal, honest and full of flavour, embracing a nose-to-tail philosophy with minimal waste.
From slow-cooked fish in the smoker to rich sauces and hours of meticulous preparation before service, Hervé and his dedicated team deliver the kind of cooking that keeps guests returning time and again.
