View BioSarah Hayward
Sarah Hayward was born in Nottinghamshire and moved to the Isle of Wight when she was eight years old. Inspired to cook by her father, a Royal Navy Chef, Sarah grew up around the sights and smells of the kitchen.
In 2010, Sarah worked for Simon Radley at The Chester Grosvenor as an apprentice and left two years later as a Demi Chef de Partie. In 2012 Sarah joined the team at Michelin-starred Lucknam Park and helped open the Cookery School, where she enjoyed both the teaching element and the interaction with guests. She also worked for a year in the Restaurant Hywell Jones by Lucknam Park gaining invaluable experience. In 2015, Sarah joined The Hand & Flowers, the two-Michelin starred pub from Tom Kerridge, making a strong impression on him with her cooking talent, she then joined The Coach as junior sous before being promoted to her first head chef position at The Bull & Bear Manchester gaining invaluable experience across the Tom Kerridge Group. In 2021 she returned to The Coach to take over as head chef of the Michelin-starred pub.
Sarah has worked for Tom Kerridge for nearly a decade overseeing a chef brigade of seven and the pub’s open plan kitchen, the small plate menu allows Sarah’s creative flair for ingredients and refined cooking is to be on show for all to see.
In 2023, Sarah won the Young Chef Award in the MICHELIN Guide Great Britain & Ireland, an incredible accolade and testimony to her rising star status, whilst The Coach was voted number 15 in the 2023 Top50 Gastropub Awards.

Obsession Food Festival
Obsession first took place in 2001 and was created as a celebration of great food, wine and a meeting of friends, old and new.
From that first event, its size has grown but the ethos is still very much the same; a completely memorable culinary experience with some of the world’s most innovative chefs creating unique Obsession menus for guests to enjoy at Northcote.
