Food at Falmouth Court Care Home

A 49 year old Cornishman, born & bred who has worked in the hospitality industry for 33 years. Married to my beautiful wife and lucky to be dad to three wonderful children.

I started out as an apprentice at the tender age of 16 in an intimate  50  cover restaurant in Lostwithiel, where I was taught the skills required, including baking, butchery, desserts to name but a few.

Over the next 30 years I progressed into Hotel Kitchen Management, new start up restaurants and traditional Inn’s honing my skills using local Artisan businesses’ and forging long standing relationships with these suppliers, utilising the best ingredients the county can provide.

I was fortunate enough to become a Head Chef at the age of 22 and have since led and developed various teams throughout my career. There is no better achievement than that of seeing a young apprentice develop and grow into the next generation of Head Chef.

Sadly losing both my parents recently and then caring for my uncle who has now entered a care home setting, I witnessed first hand the importance of a quality food offering and the effect this had on him. This personal example spurred me on to pursue the next chapter of my working life and led me to employment at Falmouth Court as Head Chef, leading the professional team to produce the highest standards of food to our residents.
