Shaun Mccabe Email & Phone Number

I am a hardworking, motivated, and creative Sous Chef ,with an ambition to extend my reach and knowledge in the culinary industry. Having worked in one of the busiest commercial kitchens in the UK, preparing and serving over 500 customers daily, I am a high performer in preparing food and other culinary tasks on time, and with excellent specification. I have a natural nature in managing and developing positive working relationships. I feel it is key to a functional kitchen, to support and listen to the team, and work to help each individual reach their daily and even long term goals, as well as my own. As an experienced chef, I have a proven track record, of not only preparing delicious meals, but also in making great food that entices customers to want more, not only in my career but in my personal life. I work well within a team but also just as confident working on my own initiative. I am very responsible, with an excellent work ethic, a ‘can do’ attitude and am passionate about food.

Listed skills include Menu Planning, Seasonal Dishes, All Cooking Methods, Implementing Recipes, and 11 others.
