About Us

Husband and wife team Graham and Phoebe Fox took over Sutor Creek in the summer of 2010 with the simple aim of providing a welcoming environment offering exceptionally cooked, local food. Moving to Cromarty allowed them to bring up their 2 boys in the Highlands while remaining in the hospitality industry.

A little history . . .

Originally from Burton-on-Trent in the midlands, Chef Graham Fox’s culinary journey started in France at the age of 16 before he joined TV Chef Phil Vickery at the award-winning Castle Hotel in Somerset. In 1999, Chef Fox won the illustrious William Heptinstall Award 1999 which allowed him to travel to the United States. After various stages including at the French Laundry, and working at North Carolina’s only 5-Star restaurant and Relais & Chateaux property The Fearrington House, Graham ultimately became Executive Chef. Returning to the UK after 9 years in the States, Chef Fox worked as Private Chef for Sir Anthony Bamford of JCB fame before making the move to Sutor Creek Café in his wife’s family home-town of Cromarty.

Phoebe’s career includes 9 years as Director of Marketing for North Carolina’s only 5 star hotel and restaurant, The Fearrington House, and marketing coordinator for the award-winning Daylesford Organic Farmshop and Cafe in Gloucestershire.
