Experienced Head Chef looking for work

[John Marwood]

Its guesswork

The Swan at Forton is food led too

Doxey is dry, Seighford curried, Derrington hanging on, Haughton fully staffed

'Near Gnosall', though....

A good way on a bike, even for the most determined.

 

[John Marwood]

Theres a lane between Gnosall n Sutton

Or by horse its nearer

Got a couple of interviews lined up for rest of the week! Still not heard from the Cleaver, have forwarded my CV, so hoping I hear from him as that place sounds like what I'm looking for, and is more local than some of the places I'm interviewing! I'll keep you updated!

 

[John Marwood]

Good luck ole chap

Indeed! Best of luck, kaleidoscope75; please let us know how you get on. You never know, if you get a job somewhere we might organise a Forum outing to come and sample the fruit of your labour.

 

[kaleidoscope75]

Sounds like a plan!

Interview today seemed a bit of a waste of time only wanted a part time pastry chef paying minimum wage hoping for better luck tomorrow!

Drove past the Cleaver this afternoon to have a nosey, they were clearing all the foliage outside and a sign up saying opening end of June. Still waiting to hear back, hopefully soon.

How can they expect to get skilled staff by paying minimum wage?

 

[kaleidoscope75]

Well let's just say the reviews of this place online leaves a lot to be desired in terms of the food, the service and even basic food hygiene.

 

[Florence]

You are clearly better than that, matey.

Stick ya head in and ask for Martin

Cant do any harm, I know it takes a little time to get re licensed, telephone back on etc etc

 

[kaleidoscope75]

Yeah I may do that John. Got an interview tomorrow at a snip and tippery ('ping' food) but at least it would be a wage until I find something more ideal...

Hi there,

lovely though Stafford is, I think you can do better - take a look at my website www.antipodastavern.com and if you think you would like to work here instead let me know.

we work with fresh, local produce (we do have a microwave, but mostly for heating clients baby food), do 200-250 covers in summer and live on the beach.

I am looking for someone capable enough to lead a newly formed brigade for our next venture. wages are above average for the area, opportunities for growth are exceptional.

Sounds like an amazing opportunity however as much as I would love to relocate to Spain unfortunately I couldn't. If I was still a single man or if my better half had no family commitments, she and I would be buying our plane tickets! However I have my commitments here to take into account

Hi there,

Hi antipodas, welcome to Stafford Forum.

I'm intrigued as to what brought you to our little corner of the Internet! Must be nice for kaleidoscope75 as well, to know that he is being head-hunted.

Initially I thought your post was spam, but after a little digging I can see that isn't the case, so I assume it's a genuine offer of help. As I say, intrigued as to what prompted it, though! Do you have a Stafford connection?

It is indeed very nice! Especially since I've had another pointless interview today. The 'snip and tip' kitchen/restaurant manager took one look at my CV and told me the position was unsuitable as I am too experienced, they are ideally looking for a college graduate to pay peanuts to. Very frustrating!

Back to the drawing board then! Hoping to pop up to the Cleaver tomorrow, find out if they are still looking for a chef, had no word back yet (being a little impatient!)

Have applied for everything I can find!!!

When the lasagne content in my blood gets low... I get mean!

You never know, if you get a job somewhere we might organise a Forum outing to come and sample the fruit of your labour.

if it involves lasagne, i'm willing to get massively involved in this!
