Chef's Profile

The Pattesons first met Chef Craig Vanderpool fifteen years ago when he was the Executive Sous Chef at The Tides Inn. They were quick to recognize his culinary talent then and kept in touch over the years.

Three years ago they convinced him to return to Irvington. They just knew thast the Hope and Glory and Craif Vanderpool were suited for each other. They were so right.

Craig is a magna cum laude graduate of both Virginia Tech and Johnson and Wales University. He currently serves as the Inn’s Director of Food and Beverage and its Chef.
