Do Former Chef-in-Residence April Bloomfield on her experience at Mayflower Inn & Spa
When one door closes, another one usually blows wide open. And that’s exactly how Chef April Bloomfield ended up as chef-in-residence at Mayflower Inn & Spa, Auberge Resorts Collection from 2020 - 2021. After her beloved Manhattan gastropub The Breslin closed down last March per COVID protocol, the British-born chef found herself in a position she hadn’t been in for nearly 30 years. “I’ve been working solidly since I was 16, so of course I didn’t really know what to do with myself. I was going stir crazy and feeling a bit restless,” she says. “So when I got the offer I was in the right place to start spreading my wings.”
