We still have 25 relief chefs out working all over Scotland, this is just 1 down from last year.
A little quieter for jobs coming in this week but this is to be expected for the time of year.
Policy on taking on new relief chefs – we are happy to get new chefs registered but the priority of work goes to the chefs who have worked all season and previous seasons. Relief work picks up from mid-March 2020. Please just email your up to date CV reference details and hygiene certificate.
We will look for ALL relief chefs to have a hygiene certificate and will ask for you all to email these over to me jojo@chefsinscotland.co.uk
You can do this online if you need to here is the link www.highspeedtraining.co.uk/food-hygiene
We have a few chefs booked in to meet in February, there is still some availability if you want to come and have a chat about relief work or permanent just get in touch with Jessica or myself to arrange a date and time.
We still have weekly meetings with Michael to go over how things are going in the CIS office and have been focusing a lot on the property we have making sure all legislations are up to date etc
Michael is kept busy at the Brewery but its good to still have the meeting so we can bounce any ideas off him and to still get direction.
We thank you all for your continued support a patience (at this time of year) we really do appreciate you all 😊
As I prepare to go to New York at the end of this week I have been trying to sort out a brief itinerary for the 5 nights that we are there. One of the main sights I am keen on seeing is the 9/11 memorial and the Empire State building. I am a big fan of Friends, so I have always wanted to see the building that they stay in, even though the series was filmed in LA. We are staying just a street away from Times Square, so we are very central to all the sights. Myself and my boyfriend are big foodies so we are very keen to try as many restaurants/ styles of food as we can during our stay. There are two main foods I want to try; one is a proper New York Bagel and the other is a corn dog. I am also very keen to visit China Town to try some authentic cuisine. The weather is very cold now and it has been lightly snowing over the weekend which I am very excited for as I have always wanted to visit New York in the snow. We also plan to either visit Jersey Gardens or Woodbury Commons for a spot of shopping during our stay.
If anyone has any sights or restaurants that they can recommend, then please let me know! We like all types of food. We plan to visit Gallaghers Steakhouse for my birthday which is on Saturday, they have a 3-course lunch time deal which looks really good, so we are excited to try this too, and possibly a few cocktails to celebrate too.
The CIS team all helped me celebrate early on Saturday as I had my 21st party at Hugo’s here in Moffat. A great night had by all and just the start of the celebrations.
We have had a few more jobs confirmed this week on relief. We still have 26 chefs out working all over Scotland which is the same as last year.
We are happy to meet new relief chefs here in Moffat if you would like to arrange please get in touch to check our availability.
