EXPERIENCE
Grill Chef & Team/Service leader, The Crown & Greyhound
Dulwich Village. LONDON- 2013-present
Required on a daily basis to open and close the kitchen, lead a service
and write the menu for the day. The food mainly consists of “posh pub
grub” and is part of the “castle brand” part of Mitchell & Butler’s. The
manager asks me to devise specials, new dishes for the main menu and
soups when required. I check the stock, take deliveries and write prep
lists for the other chefs to be ready for service. The pub had a record
week in the summer, taking 56K. It regularly takes an average of 35-45K,
Indicating the speed and volume of service you have to be used to whilst
maintaining a high standard of food quality. During the summer the pub
operates a barbecue (voted into the top 10 BBQ’s in London – Timeout
magazine.). Last year, myself and the second chef were running this and
taking up to £1800 a day, alongside the main kitchen.
Head Chef, Emmaus
South Lambeth,LONDON — 2011- 2013
My main job within the communitywas to provide food twice daily for the other
companions.This could sometimes run to 80+ covers a day, with guests and
trustees also catered for,sometimes with two but often just me.Desserts aren’t
part of the allocated allowance for the food, but it was nice to bake or create for
occasions like birthdays and special treats.The challenge is to ensure the meal is
liked by all 30 companions and still caters to the specific dietaryand nutritional
needs,all whilstkeeping variety up. I’ve also turned my hand to confectionaryand
have more than adequate baking skills.

and pies which were made for the pub speciallyand delivered when required.
