Milford on Sea restaurant, Ray’s Italian Kitchen is expanding after less than seven months of opening, with the appointment of Head Chef, Thomas Boyce and the re-modelling of its courtyard garden.
Thomas has more than 18 years of experience in the hospitality industry, with past roles that include The Waldorf Hotel, London and the Master’s Builders Hotel, Beaulieu.
Thomas is working alongside owner, Stacey Crouch and chef, Ryan Light and comes at a time when Stacey is launching the opening of the restaurant’s courtyard garden on Friday 28th June, after its refurbishment, serving small plates and pizza.
Stacey said: “Thomas joins us at a very exciting time, as we open our sunny courtyard garden, creating an informal space that will increase our covers by 30.
“His appointment also gives us the opportunity to add to our already popular menu, with new dishes such as Ravioli Al Pollo and Pancetta, Pizza Fiorentina and Fritto Misto.”
Thomas added: “It’s wonderful to join a small team who are so passionate about the food they serve and to be part of an exciting local business, who are definitely marking their mark on the local food scene.”
The restaurant which is named in memory of Stacey’s father opened in December 2018 and showcases the best in local produce, creating food with great flavour, alongside a selection of fine wines.
Ray’s Italian Kitchen is open every Tuesday to Saturday with lunchtime and evening service.
Advanced bookings are recommended for the restaurant (bookings are not needed for the courtyard garden) and can be made by calling:
