Hello, my name is Sam, I am the General Manager here at Ashchurch View and welcome you to our website.
I have gained a wealth of experience within the health and social care sector, beginning my nursing career in Guyana, South America. Since then I have worked as registered nurse and a midwife and have loved every minute.
I moved to the UK in 2004 to work as a registered nurse for the NHS before progressing into the private care sector for Barchester, where I secured the role of Deputy Manager here at Ashchurch View.

John Fesel
Senior Head Chef
Hello, my name is John and I'm delighted to be Head Chef here at Ashchurch View.
Life before food was all about horses where I lived and breathed everything to do with the racing world. This came to an abrupt end when my horse and the upcoming jump had a 'disagreement'.
Post my accident I decided to study food and have been fortunate to take my skills to locations all around the world adding vibrance and flavour to my knowledge pot.
I joined the Barchester team in 2017 and really enjoy working within the elderly care sector as it's not just about tasty food but also about nutrition and planning a balanced diet for our residents.
It is great getting to know the residents individually and it's a pleasure to work for them as I get to try out new recipes and of course, old favourites. Diet is so important and I thrive at producing nutritious, seasonal, fresh and delicious recipes for our residents and believe this translates into the food I and the kitchen team, serve.
Please feel free to drop into Ashchurch View anytime and have a coffee and one of our tasty patries, I look forward to the feedback.
