A busy kitchen and inviting cafe are at the heart of Flourish House where the catering team provides a daily lunch for members from 12:15pm – 12:45pm.
Getting involved is a wonderful way to learn culinary skills, teamwork and delicious recipes!
We work together to develop healthy, tasty and best of all budget friendly meals. Each day we create a 3 course meal and have it ready to serve within 3 hours. It is a fast paced and energetic environment where there is a focus on building confidence, communication and organisational skills (as well as the music choice to keep us going!) There is a real sense of camaraderie within the kitchen, team work and the support provided to each other helps to create this atmosphere. Working in the cafe develops communication skills, and key literacy skills. Jobs include order taking, serving, operating the till and of course, overseeing the whole service is the maitre de. There is an opportunity to learn about basic food hygiene, gain knife skills and learn about allergens.
The work in the cafe and kitchen can empower individuals on their recovery journey, what can appear a daunting and overwhelming area can become a fun learning environment.
