Our Kitchen Brigade are some of the most passionate foodies you will meet. Each member brings their own ideas and enthusiasms to the kitchens daily, and you’ll find a team working to celebrate the best of Scottish produce in a busy kitchen, where there is always something on the go. Working with the ethos of 4S+0, the brigade seeks to ensure each dish served is Scottish, seasonal, sustainable, and slow producing as close to zero waste as possible.

Todd Warnock & Elizabeth Chamberlain

A huge lover and ambassador of the Scottish Highlands, Todd had been a regular visitor to Dornoch for years before he made it home. He first discovered our original Manse House in 2005 and it took until 2013 for the first guests to enjoy a stay at Links House. A keen golfer, historian and horticulturist, Todd has laterly turned his attention to developing his homestead farm, Seaview, and its formal Gardens.

Elizabeth and Lady (their much loved Labrador), made Sutherland and Seaview Farm her home in 2020. Elizabeth has been instrumental in keeping Todd on track with progress on the farm and leads the charge with beekeeping and planning the lavender field. A keen painter, Elizabeth has a penchant for interior design and has often been seen around the greens at Royal Dornoch.
