Prepare meals in RAF messes
Order, store and account for food
Help plan menus for everyday meals and VIP occasions
Prepare in-flight meals for cabin crew and passengers
IN THE RAF MY ROLE
‘Chefs in the RAF do all kinds of work. I’ve done official functions cooking first-class food, I’ve worked in the Sergeant’s Mess, which is a bit like a canteen, and I’ve done field catering, based outdoors, feeding hundreds of personnel.’
MY DAY
‘In my kitchen here, we prepare meals for about 350 people. There’s a servery with about five or six choices for lunch and dinner, including vegetarian options and a sandwich bar. We take it in turns to prepare meat, vegetarian dishes, poultry and vegetables, so we have a go at everything.’
