  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • My role involves running the kitchen in the absence of the Head Chef. I cook varying types of foods and clean the kitchen. I order food stuff and adhere to all the correct paper work for the kitchen. I supervise kitchen team members and make sure that the kitchen runs as smoothly as possible.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Yes I have learned the recipe system (star chef), which details the correct amounts and all allergens within a certain dish. I have more competently understood how to run a kitchen, and understanding how various members of the team ‘work’ has been a real eye opener, and I feel very great full for this.

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • So far I have enjoyed all the exercises that we have done on the programme. Due to the coronavirus we have had two trips to London and the obvious implications of lockdown and haven’t actually done very much for the course.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The programme seems well structured, I am quite impressed with it so far. Due to the coronavirus lockdown it is quite hard to give an honest answer to this question, as I feel I need more input to give this.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • So far I haven’t done a whole lot from the qualification due to the coronavirus. What I have done so far has definitely given me scope to think about my role. It’s been an eye opener.

  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
  • No there aren’t any of these
