A famous golf resort hotel has appointed an executive chef to its award-winning restaurant. Links House at Royal Dornoch, described as “the UK’s most northerly luxury destination”, and recent recipient of Michelin’s inaugural Key distinction, hailed the appointment. It said Theo Creton will be leading the team as executive chef at the hotel’s 2 AA Rosette-holding Mara restaurant in a return to the business .
Previously head chef within Mara’s opening kitchen team in 2021, Mr Creton “has distinguished himself thanks to his passion for cooking with the freshest produce and support for local suppliers; creating dishes filled with flavours inspired by his travels whilst celebrating the very best of Scotland’s larder”, the hotel said.

On his return to the UK, he worked at the 3 AA Rosette L'Ortolan.
Mr Creton said: “I couldn’t be more excited to be back at Mara and leading such an engaged and knowledgeable team. After spending a year cooking around the globe, it feels like I’m back home, and I can’t wait to reflect on my time away in the new menus we have planned. “One of my first challenges being back in the kitchen is getting to grips with half a wild boar! I’ve started off making bacon fro.
