Out and About from The Moffat Office
25th October
45 relief chefs currently out working and that we are still charging for
The availability of relief work is patchy and the priority of the work will go to the chefs who have worked for us for the season or who are better known to us
We will soon have our 50 relief chef list ready and will be getting in touch with individually
To let me know about your availability for over the festive period please can you PM or email me jojo@chefsinscotland.co.uk
Please feel free to share any photos of where you are
Here are some of the current chefs we have out just now

Thanks once again for all your hard work and continued support :)
Over the next week we are doing a list of our “Magic 50 for the winter” for Relief work
This will be based on job completion, feedback and grading and you will then be offered work first over the next 5 to 6 months through until Easter 2024.
It continues to look as though Relief work will remain patchy over the coming months due to hard economic times and generally, it seems, world uncertainty.
The last thing that we want is to have chefs marked available on the relief database who are not getting offered any work.
Jobs are still coming through to CIS but more a steady trickle now than in the summer when often there is a large queue of jobs and we are not able to take on more jobs.
There are plenty of permanent jobs out there and details are available on our website, www.chefsinscotland.co.uk
Good luck
