Former chef hits out at Talley's family for trying to stop him working elsewhereMARION VAN DIJK/STUFF Nelson's Rutherford Hotel, where Liam Claringbold worked as an executive chef. Liam Claringbold worked at the Talley's Group-owned Rutherford Hotel in Nelson as its executive chef until he resigned abruptly on November 7 last year, according to an Employment Relations Authority determination. The ERA declined to issue an urgent injunction, sought by the Talley's-owned hotel company, preventing him from working for a rival. Within the month, Claringbold got a job as the executive sous chef at the Grand Mercure Nelson Monaco Hotel. Stopping Claringbold working for any hotel, restaurant or cafe within the Nelson/Tasman area "goes too far", Appleton said.
