With over 70 chefs out working relief remains very tight as expected for the time of year.

We are always happy to get availability from chefs whether it be for a few days, anything at this time of year can help.

Our fall down rate is still low with most of our relief chefs working to a very high standard and completing their stints if not staying longer than booked.

This year we have seen a lot of new relief chefs join the circuit and they are doing very well, along with our established relief chefs they continue to keep Chefs In Scotland at the top.
