Starting as a host at our sister venue, The Maynard, over 3 years ago, she’s worked her way up with dedication and passion — and now she’s joined the dream team at The Peacock!
Her hard work, attention to detail, and knack for building strong relationships with both the team and guests make her the perfect fit for this role. We’re beyond lucky to have her on board, and we know she’ll bring her magic to The Peacock every day!
Alina
Head Chef
Starting as a kitchen porter at The Maynard, to now running the kitchen at The Peacock, Alina’s journey is one of hard work, growth, and a love for locally-sourced Peak District produce.
A former volleyball player for the Romanian national team, Alina brings the discipline, teamwork, and resilience from sports into her kitchen leadership style. With a rich academic background and a thirst for knowledge, she’s worked her way up through the ranks – from Pastry Chef to Sous Chef – and now, as Head Chef, she’s ready to create exceptional food experiences at The Peacock.
Alina's vision? A strong, supportive kitchen team, and dishes that showcase the very best of local ingredients. Get ready for a dining experience like no other!
