Counting the relief chefs, we still have 80 chefs out that we are billing for.

We are meeting chefs here in Moffat to discuss permanent and relief, for relief especially we are keen to meet all chefs we have on our books and are providing work to. Get in touch to arrange a time and day so we can check our availability.
Relief chef availability still remains very tight, but this expected for the time of year, we are unable to take any more jobs on in August.
Happy to put on from September onwards as the availability is better from then. Happy to take details if you can pay the chef weekly and provide accommodation.
Some of the chefs are not as well known to us and it may be their first relief stint with us. We will give you all the information we have, and the onus is on the employer as to whether they want to take them on or not.
