The Rosewood Jumby Bay resort in Antigua has named Sylvain Hervochon its new executive chef.

Hervochon will lead the culinary team at the resort, which includes the restaurants the Estate House, The Verandah, The Pool Grille and the Beach Bar.

Hervochon was most recently the executive chef at the Le NossyBe Restaurant in La Baule France, where he managed the eatery and a team of 12 chefs for seven years.
