DEVELOPMENT KITCHEN MONDAY
Another day, another recipe test for the education sector.
Yellow Curry 🍛✨
A rich, creamy, and aromatic curry made from scratch with our 'not-so-secret' recipe now that we are posting it on LinkedIn (sorry, chef).
This curry is lightly spiced and perfect with fluffy basmati rice.
Tested and approved!

BUSINESS PLANNING DAY BUT MAKE IT CLEVER 👀
The company directors, Operations team, food team, health and safety, and the fun department… err, marketing, met yesterday for a day of planning and video-making.
We tested the team’s video skills and put them into practice.
How would you rate them?

🐝 Happy World Bee Day! 🐝
Are you a bee-liever?
Let's give it up for these true legends of pollination.
Their un-bee-lievable hustle keeps our world blooming and buzzing.
They're the real MVPs, making our world sweet from the hive to the streets.
We reckon we could turn this into a hip-hop-hippity tune.
But then you will have to endure our singing voices, so maybe not.

⭐ ROCKSTAR OF THE MONTH ⭐
We are thrilled to announce David Morgan, chef at @parkstonegrammarschool, as the latest winner of our Rockstar of the Month award! 🏆
David's dedication has made him a true standout among our team. Mack Allan, our Managing Director, had the pleasure of visiting the school to present David with this well-deserved award in person.
In his spare time, David is a Detectorist, so he won a £100 voucher for a metal detecting website.
Each month, the awards are bespoke to the winners. It is all about making it EXTRA special for our staff. Also, each monthly winner automatically enters for the chance to win a holiday package at the end of the year!
Check out the video to see his reaction.
Congratulations again, David! Keep shining bright like the star you are! 🌟
