Attracting young chefs who are capable of delivering the standards a Michelin Star requires is always difficult. Kitchen connections are proactive in keeping our Head Chef Simon Haigh informed of any young Senior CDP/Junior Sous Chefs who can be developed within the team at Mallory to be able to deliver food of an enviable standard. This approach has worked well for us

Finding highly skilled people for any business in a competitive market place is always a challenge yet Penny and the team were selective and presented a shortlist of candidates all very suitable for our business. Penny & I met to discuss the brief, business plan ahead of us and the personal attributes essential to take the business forward.
