Dave is a very steady chef, with a wealth of experience in contract catering, banqueting and short order chef work.  A good all-rounder, Dave requires a post completing days, as the nights he does at present does not suit the now additional care of his father who needs to been seen early each evening.

Adam G / Pastry Chef / Chef De Partie

Permanent or Temporary

Adam is excellent at his very specialized job, and his experience from London sets him in a league of his own.

Adam then went on to a 3AA rosette seafood restaurant as Chef De Partie and decided this role in fine dining was his forte.

Adam was made redundant from his last position at the start of the year due to a downturn in business and is now looking for a new permanent role within commuting distance of Plymouth.

If you are recruiting for your restaurant you can definitely raise the game with the talents of Adam; who knows the region, where to get the best produce and more importantly he knows his costs, margins etc. which developed during his employment with one of the UK’s top private events catering companies, where produce was costed to the gram.

Lucy D/Catering Assistant with Retail and Cooking experience

Permanent or Temporary

Lucy is currently in an assignment until Christmas, but might need to find alternative work, if not extended beyond due to seasonal down turn in that sector from Jan to March unfortunately. Our client is very pleased with Lucy and I am sure will try to retain her in the business. But just in case we will still look actively for more work for a very hard working young lady. At present although is a locally based very busy Inn, with accommodation, functions and a bar and restaurant facility, Lucy has also completed retail in a Butchers Shop, which unfortunately had to close due to sale of the rented business premises and not alternative found. Lucy did learn further butchery skills, good cleaning and hygiene skills and gained a Food Safety Certificate, and also did the presentation and sale of the product. Excellent references, great work ethic and can do attitude, made Lucy a pleasure to find work for, and we hope that it will continue for her. Based in Pensilva, with a vehicle so travel to work is no problem.
