Kitchen & Messroom

With a focus on living skills, learn about which foods are nutritious and good for you and will keep you healthy. Pick your ingredients from kitchen garden, the orchard or dig from the field then get the recipe books out. Of course, cleaning and tidying away afterwards is part of the deal but go home and practice the skills you have learnt.

We also teach food hygiene, including usage and storage of equipment and correct storage of food including temperatures.

Just like a workplace canteen, it’s the space where we come together for tea breaks and lunch, encouraging social interaction as well the transferable skills of sharing space and negotiation. Timekeeping’s important too with boundaries set around a typical working day.

There’s a quiet space for those who need it and on sunny days you’ll find us outside enjoying the sunshine.
