Apparently, if you want to ensure you behave at a major hospitality event, you invite HR. 😉

​Had a brilliant time at the Udine event last night. We missed out on the award this time, but the real value was in the incredible networking and meeting so many talented people from across the sector. It's great to see simon Rimmer Simon Rimmer presenting, too! Legendary chef true inspiration to hospitality

​Huge thanks to my HR chaperone for the advice, the laughs, and the great company. We're already planning our strategy for next year!

Another highly successful couple of weeks in the books for the main kitchen team.

From managing daily high-volume student dining and ex*****on of conference events to supporting high-profile subject dinners, our kitchen thrives on versatility.

​A massive thank you to the team for their relentless work ethic.

We pride ourselves not just on culinary excellence but on being a collaborative partner across the institution—always stepping up to support other departments whenever and wherever needed. True teamwork makes all the difference.

An incredible evening at the MCR Guest Night, where we had the absolute pleasure of serving a bespoke 4-course menu for our brilliant students.

​Occasions like this are a fantastic reminder of why we do what we do, and I could not be prouder of how our kitchen and front-of-house teams executed the service perfectly from start to finish.

​On the menu tonight:

​To Begin: Fresh homemade ham hock terrine served with vibrant piccalilli vegetables and a smooth piccalilli aioli.

​The Main: Pan-fried, lemon-crusted halibut resting on a bed of crushed spring green potatoes.

​To Finish: A crowd favorite that never fails to disappoint—our classic, decadent sticky toffee pudding paired with rich ice cream. 😍

​A massive thank you to the entire team for their relentless dedication, creativity, and teamwork to bring this menu to life. Your hard work behind the scenes is what makes these nights a triumph.

​And to our students—thank you for joining us and making the atmosphere so memorable.

A night of culinary connection at the Satellite Kitchen. ✨

​The St John’s Main Kitchen team was out in full force for the first of many "Subject Dinners." This 3-course experience was led by our new Chef de Partie, Ryan, who did a fantastic job delivering a menu worthy of the occasion.

​There is nothing we love more than treating our Fellows and their students to a bespoke meal. Great work, Ryan! 🍽️
