Production Kitchen

Our Production Kitchen is situated in Ashford and can be reached by bus (short walk from town) or by train (is approx. 20-minute walk from Ashford International Train station). This is a non-public facing site and is where we produce food for the cafes and run our catering business.

Trainees here work with our skilled team of chefs preparing a variety of food depending on the bookings for that week.

This may include:

• Making cakes / Pastries / Sausage Rolls for the cafes
• Preparing food for private events such as weddings / christenings / parties / funerals.
• Preparing food for corporate events such as conferences / board meetings / celebrations.

They learn food hygiene, knife skills, preparing food in different ways as well as keeping the kitchen clean and learning discipline and routine.

Trainees also get to help plan events, plan menus, learn how to cost items and to physically work events either in the kitchen or serving front of house. They also learn how to work under a small amount of pressure as the catering jobs need to be delivered within a time frame as dictated by the clients. This site is non-public facing and so suits people who do not wish to work with the public.
