The College Flag flies at half-mast today in honour of Rob Dennis, Head Chef 1995-2019, who died at home on the weekend, surrounded by his family. Our thoughts are with them.

Rob joined Worcester as Sous-Chef in 1993 and was promoted to Head Chef in 1995. He played a major role in the refurbishment of the College kitchen, his pride and joy. He retired on grounds of ill health early last year. Rob’s enthusiasm for ingredients and his brilliant gift for transforming them into delicious meals sustained us all: when we are next able to eat together in College, we shall toast his memory.

Professor Kate Tunstall, Interim Provost
