Guests of The Derby Conference Centre can now enjoy a refreshed dining experience thanks to the launch of a range of new menus created by its new head chef, Matthew Slack. The appointment follows a £1m investment in the venue.
“Where possible, I use local produce from local suppliers to put across to our customers what is great about Derby and its local produce,” Slack explains. “It is something that I am passionate about being born and raised in the city. As well as this, I am introducing a greater variety of dishes across all of The Derby Conference Centre’s menus to satisfy our repeat customers.”
Slack’s brother, Jordan Slack, joins as sous chef.
The Centre has developed significantly over the last ten years. After the £1m investment on the refurbishment of the centre, they can now offer additional facilities such as The Douie Suite – a private conferencing space with its own dedicated bathroom and breakout area, The Business Lounge and a return to the wedding market.
“It’s been a really exciting time for us here at The Derby Conference Centre,” Mike Ebbitt, managing director at The Derby Conference Centre explains. “For us, it’s all about giving our customers a great experience and value for money. We recently opened The Douie Suite to our clients, and announced our return to the wedding market, the response from which was fantastic. Now, with our newly renovated bar and bistro for Matthew and his team to serve, we are confident that we are able to uplift the quality of the cuisine offered.”
