Apprentices and Culinary Academy
Under the careful direction of Goodwood Executive Chef Darron Bunn the Goodwood apprentices will prepare a delicious three-course meal to showcase and demonstrate their skills.
The Culinary Academy provides on the job chef training for young people to work and train in Goodwood’s amazingly diverse kitchens over a two year period. Upon qualification, graduates are offered a position within one of the restaurants across the estate.
Ellie Hawley, 18, is one of Goodwood’s apprentice chefs and started the academy in July 2019. Ellie is currently based at The Bar & Grill in the Goodwood hotel and has been moving around the estate seeing how all the different kitchens work. She spent her first two months working on the farm with the animals and learning how the meat is prepared before it arrives in the kitchens.
“I have loved working on the farm and I have enjoyed working in the different kitchens learning new techniques and working with different people,” revealed Ellie who joined the academy after completing a catering course at college.
Tickets are £45 per person and includes a welcome drink and three-course dinner.
