We’re thrilled to welcome Chef Graham Manvell to TPG Hotels as our new Group Culinary Ambassador! 👏
Born and bred in Tamworth, Graham comes from a proud family tradition in food and hospitality. His father and grandfather were both bakers and caterers, and that passion continues through his own family - his son is an award-winning chef in Brisbane, and his daughter works in hospitality sales with CBRE Hotels.
An internationally awarded chef and culinary judge, Graham has cooked in some of the world’s most renowned kitchens including The Savoy London, Mount Lofty House, and The Sebel Townhouse, and even represented Australia at the Culinary Olympics, bringing home gold in Frankfurt.
From his farm just outside Tamworth, Graham lives his paddock-to-plate philosophy every day - celebrating seasonal produce, global flavours, and the art of visual presentation. He’s passionate about mentoring and motivating young chefs, working hands-on in the kitchen to build skills, confidence, and connection.
We’re proud to have Graham lead this next chapter of TPG Hotels’ growth at The Pub, Southgate Inn, The Family, Longyard Hotel and Ibis Styles Tamworth.
Welcome aboard, Chef! 👨🍳
