Andy Westwood known to Chefs In Scotland a number of years now he started his season off at Cardrona Hotel in Peebles, Caladh Inn in Stornoway, Bootleggers and Bothy Bistro in Burghead, Ben Loyal Hotel in Tongue, back to the Grant Arms in Grantown on Spey to help cover holidays, currently at the Cabarfeidh Hotel in Stornoway and again he is booked for the best part of December too

Scott Bolton has worked with us for many years. He is a great chef and this year he did a 4 week stint at Loch Fyne where he ended up staying for about 3 months, another good long stint at Bootleggers & Bothy Bistro on the East coast. Scott got on great at Bridge Hotel, Buttermere – where again he stayed longer than the original 4 weeks and now he’s working hard at The Angus Hotel.

Jason McKay came on board this year with his first relief placement at Cardrona, Peebles. His second placement was a short stint at Hunday Manor, West Cumbria and his third placement was at Mackays Hotel in Wick as Head Chef where he accepted the position on a permanent basis.

Jamie Marshall was new to us this year - starting off at Loch Fyne where he stayed for longer than originally booked and was asked back for a second stint. Next over to the Salutation in Perth where he got on really well and now at Skeabost Hotel, Isle of Skye.

We get so many talented chefs out on relief jobs, we thank you all for your hard work and support :)
