My first day in Work!

For my work experience I am in the kitchen in the Celbridge Manor. I was greeted by Gayle who brought me to the kitchen to meet the corporate chef Johnie and the head chef Darren, I was then given a tour around the kitchen and a list of tasks that I had to preform during the day. 

My first task was to prep for breakfast the next morning which took longer then I expected as I didn't think that we needed to prepare as much food as we did. I then made sandwiches and paninis for the staff lunches. I then had my break where I met some of the waiting staff who work in the restaurant.

After my break I was asked to chop different type of veg for wedding prep, I've never seen so many cherry tomatoes or  bags of lettuce in my life! After I finished chopping the veg it was time to go home and on my way out I was introduced to the owner of the hotel and his wife, who were both very friendly. 

I hope to gain loads of knowledge on what it is like to work in a kitchen and I hope to do more then chop veg in the coming weeks!
