Testimonials

“I wasn’t sure what kind of food was served in English pubs – I’d heard about scampi and chips and pies, but when I came over here from Stockholm I was very impressed with the décor and the kitchens. We opened the pub with brand new equipment and most importantly, lots of fresh food to prep up.”
Marcus, Chef de Partie

“My career so far has taken me from Harpenden to Alderley Edge, from Totteridge to Harrogate... I have assisted in opening 15 businesses and trained loads of chefs on new menus.”
Fraser, Openings Head Chef

“I work in a fast-paced, exiting environment with some great people from all over the world, Aussies, Kiwis and my French GM who is a real character!”
Marcin, CDP

“Crispy duck salad, risottos, pastas – they’re my favourite things on the menu. Risottos are especially difficult, the rice has to be just right.”
Eddie, ‘Top Commis’

“Being a Head Chef in a pub has been the most important thing. I am now part of the Kitchen Learning and Development Team and induct, train and develop new talent.”
Chris Goodchild, Training and Development Chef
