The kitchen team

Fresh regional products

Since November 01, 2011 the white brigade at Schloss Wilkinghege is led by Mr. David Reineke, who learned his trade at Schloss Wilkinghege from our longtime chef (Martin Löffler †).

After his apprenticeship, Mr. Reineke gained further experience at the Romantikhotel Hof zur Linde (Münster-Handorf) as well as at the star restaurant “La Vie” in Osnabrück. After his stop in Spain, his path led him back to Münster to the Mövenpick Hotel and then back to the Wilkinghege.

Sous-chef Fraser McLeod has been with us since 01.05.2024. He started his career in Hong Kong. It was here that he learned to appreciate Asian cuisine. He then gained extensive experience in upscale gastronomy in his native Scotland. These include the restaurant “The Three Chimneys” on the Isle of Skye and the “Wedgewood the Restaurant” in Edinburgh. Most recently as Sous Chef at the Links House Hotel, which has been awarded a Michelin star.

Together they design the seasonally changing menu, which offers our guests a contemporary cuisine that is not only characterized by classic dishes. The preference for fresh and local products, such as back and leg of local fallow calf is reflected in our à la carte menu as well as in the banquets.
