Scottish Gas Murrayfield’s events brand The Murrayfield Experience has appointed renowned culinary expert Stuart Fraser as executive chef.
A JV between contract caterer Elior UK and Scottish Rugby, The Murrayfield Experience enables Scottish Gas Murrayfield stadium to offer a wider range of tailored services for events of all sizes whilst positioning the the iconic venue as a year-round destination for concerts, entertainment and private functions away from match days.
With a diverse career history, previously holding positions such as senior banqueting chef and executive head chef at the Old Course Hotel in St Andrews, and head chef at Genting Casinos and Lindisfarne Hotels, Fraser is set to take The Murrayfield Experience to new heights. In his new role, Fraser is poised to elevate modern culinary excellence across rugby matches, concerts, corporate, private and charity events curating world-class dining experiences as well as tailored signature ‘Murrayfield dishes’.
Seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and food provenance will be at the heart of a new culinary experience with Fraser leading a team of up to 100 chefs on match days and during concerts.
Fraser says: “Scottish Gas Murrayfield is iconic and known worldwide, and I’m excited to lead the culinary offering into a new chapter creating bespoke event menus with a focus on working with local Scottish providers. We have many exciting new opportunities lined up for guests to experience the great warm welcome, food, and hospitality that The Murrayfield Experience has to offer.”
Natalaigh Taylor, head of marketing for The Murrayfield Experience, adds: “Welcoming Stuart to The Murrayfield Experience is a beacon for the new and improved offering we have here at Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium. Stuart’s commitment to excellence, and his ability to curate innovative dishes combined with his passion for team development will transform the hospitality experience our guests receive. We are thrilled to have him at the heart of our team.”
