Designed to tackle the issues of chef recruitment and retention head on, the Academy has been carefully constructed to provide a complete plot-to-plate education for the chefs, including supplier visits, theory, supervisory skills workshops and masterclasses as well as cooking for the high profile guests within the banqueting and restaurant kitchens of Exclusive Hotels and Venues.
Andy is always on the lookout for hungry, talented and motivated chefs who have the passion and determination to go far. He describes the Exclusive Chefs Academy as ‘no walk in the park’ and a ‘tough challenge’ but one that will absolutely pay off for the candidates luckily enough to secure their place given that it offers a rare opportunity for the chefs to ‘learn in two years what might typically take five.’
