Out and About Friday 30th November

Well it’s the last day of November (how did this happen?)

There haven’t been many relief jobs coming in this week but this is expected for the time of year.

We do still have 51 relief chefs out working which is 11 more chefs than last year which is brilliant 😊

If you are not working and have availability, please do send a copy of your CV in and we will chase references as standard.

We can mark you available, but priority is given to those who have had placements via CIS over the summer season.

For existing chefs who have done work all year round would suggest 40 – 60% chance of getting you work over the winter.

If you can also get in touch with your availability for Christmas and New year.

Here are some of the chefs we have got booked at the beginning of November

Maria Sullivan has completed her first job on relief at the Kintail Lodge and is at the Balmacara Hotel in Kyle of Lochalsh.

Graham Smith went to the White Horse Inn and is currently at The Fife Lodge in Banff

Peter Norrie is currently working an 8 week stint at The Chesters Hotel in Aberdeen

Dale Paton was back helping at the Bluebell Inn in Crookham
