Daniel Crump MCA and Margriet Vandezande-Crump, Owners
The husband and wife team have worked in some of the UK’s most established restaurants, such as Michelin starred Petrus in Knightsbridge, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay in Chelsea, The Oxford Blue in Old Windsor and Trinity in Clapham.
With a strong focus on service, Daniel and Margriet have a genuine passion for hospitality. They have hand-picked every element of the restaurant with guests’ comfort in mind.
Launching in December 2019, The Greyhound is their first solo venture.
George Sweeney, Head Chef
George initially qualified from Bournemouth and Poole College after doing a three-year apprenticeship with the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts at The Langham Hotel, London. George then joined the team at the three-AA-rosette Sir Charles Napier restaurant in Oxfordshire in August 2020 where he was also quickly promoted to junior sous chef.
He joined the Greyhound at the beginning of 2023 and quickly moved up the ranks to senior sous chef.
George’s cooking style uses seasonal, British produce, sourced from the best suppliers from across the UK, to create modern British dishes with a hint of nostalgia.
Hannah Rippon, Assistant Manager
Hannah is responsible for overseeing business operations alongside Daniel and Margriet.
Part of our opening team, Hannah has extensive experience in hospitality having previously worked at two Michelin-starred Moor Hall in Lancashire as well as the Oxford Blue in Old Windsor.
With a strong passion for hospitality, Hannah is an integral part of the restaurant’s service-led approach.
Lauren Gulliford-Brown, Assistant Manager
Raised locally, Lauren was formerly a supervisor at the Three Oaks in Gerrards Cross.
She joined the Greyhound in 2021 and quickly worked her way up from senior waiter to head waiter and then assistant manager in just over 18 months.
Lauren’s care for her guests and her strong attention to detail is what makes Lauren the best at what he does.
