chef Review

My role is to help in the kitchen with my collegues preparing and presenting food for customers. I also help with cleaning and organising for close downs and openings in the kitchen. And also with putting away deliveries and counting stock. We all work as a team to present quality food to paying customers.

I have learnt many new skills while i have been at my new apprentiship. This is things like learning new skills with knives or learning different cooking techniques such as how to score your meat before cooking to ensure it is cooked evenly through out the meat and is presentable to customers.

I enjoy my programme a lot as i am 17 and this is my first job so it is my first time being in this environment and learning how other people work and how to work together to make all of our jobs that little bit easier for us all.

I would say that my programme is very organised and structured as we have a certain way we like to work and we keep it that way so that everyone in the kitchen is on the same page as eachother and nothing is over complicated this just makes things in the kitchen more presentable too.

I would say i receive a good amount of support from my employer but not so much my trainer from my apprentiship. My employer has been straight forward with what they need me to do and the communtication is great and i understand what needed from me. Not so much from my trainer.

At the moment i have just had to swap trainers since my other trainer left to go on maternity leave and im only just getting to know my new trainer but i havent really heard much from them and majority of my meeting i have had scheduled with have been cancelled.

My qualification will help better with my role because i will be learning seperate things in my qualification that will then help me when i am at work and i can actually practice these things i have been learning about through my apprentiship and notice certain things around the kitchen.

Yes their is many sociable events at my work as i work in a pub and their are several different events on the night or throughout the day to bring in more customers to get up sales for food and drinks and we also hold main events such as singers coming in and karioke nights.

Yes

I would recommend marstons because i know how they treat their workers and it is really good so if they treat their workers that good then the customer service is going to be just as good so i would recommend people to get a job or even to just go eat at one of their pubs.

I would give them advice saying to just get the job with them because i know its good. I dont think i would need to give them too much advice though as it is pretty straight forward when you get the job and their is nothing too complicated about it.
