Gavin Athanasiou

Ex seafood chef now out on the road for Forest Produce, looking after Devon and Exmoor. I'm crazy about Greek food, seafood and anything cooked over fire.

[Gavin Athanasiou @GavinAtForest]

Finally managed to get back on my foodie twitter page. Now at @ForestProduce and loving being on the road selling some of the finest ingredients to some of the south west’s best chefs. Twice weekly London and Paris market trips to keep our chefs topped up with the best produce.

@PetiteBoucheeHY @Asma_KhanLDN @TomKitchin Yeah me too. Nothing wrong with a bit of discipline, but straight up bullying and humiliation is not acceptable in any job. I bet @TomKitchin will be moaning about a lack of chefs in the industry too.

All these restaurants having to close because a customer or member of staff has pinged or tested positive yet I’ve never ever seen a supermarket closed. Because they don’t do track n trace. Absolutely using #hospitalityindustry as an easy target again. @BorisJohnson #COVID19

@devonwoodsmoke @jamesbrooksco @Sue_Stoneman @somersetGrill @firemastersuk Haha I bet it’s not. A sack of wood to cook one steak lol 😂. It looks a great bit of kit and not massive money.

@NatalieBrereton Ged ad of ma town.... what a place hey!!!

[Forest Produce @ForestProduce]

Usually, daily deliveries aren't needed - better to reduce costs + help the environment 💷🌍

However, we know your spring/summer needs to be AWESOME. So, from 17th May = DELIVERIES 6 DAYS A WEEK.

Such a buzz in hospitality as everyone prepares for the next stage of re-opening!⏰

I've been busy with menu designs (featuring my usual extras 😉), point-of-sale + loyalty cards.

Wishing you all well with preparations - shout if I can help! SJ

@NatalieBrereton Mini eggs one at Tesco’s for 75p. Rude not to

[Gavin Athanasiou @GavinAtForest]

Not many of these jobs around. Any Foodservice account managers out of work. This is a good role by the looks of it

[Gavin Athanasiou @GavinAtForest]

@matkiwi Terrifying if it is true. Can’t even bring my mind to go there anymore really. Shocking times

[Gavin Athanasiou @GavinAtForest]

@RishiSunak @GordonRamsay Absolute joke! Ramsay is top banana, but absolutely no way does he represent what’s happening on the ground in the hospitality trade. I could tag 100s of restaurants we supply & every single one will give a truer representation. Never felt so unheard in all my life. #joke

[Gavin Athanasiou @GavinAtForest]

@SimonJWoodUK Spot on Simon. I’ve never felt so insignificant that at this time. My voice and the voice of the restaurants I supply is so weak at the moment and this video of Sunak and Ramsey makes us even further from being heard. Ramsey is top top top, but in no way in tune with us

[Gavin Athanasiou @GavinAtForest]

A little bit fo work today. Always feels good to be back speaking to customers. @ForestProduce

[Gavin Athanasiou @GavinAtForest]

Working again this morning. Feels great talking to chefs and loosely do my job again. Loads of specials on today, including some amazing local cheeses. Give me a call. @ForestProduce #chefs #westcountrychefs

[Gavin Athanasiou @GavinAtForest]

@Hulstone Savage if that’s true. Can’t see many restaurants and pubs making it to May.

[Gavin Athanasiou @GavinAtForest]

Yay!!! Working this morning. Remember valentines is around the corner and we have plenty of good stuff waiting for you menus. Call me. @ForestProduce #ValentinesDay #devon #Somerset #chefsofsouthwest #teamforest

[Gavin Athanasiou @GavinAtForest]

YAY!!!! I’m back working for a few hours today. @ForestProduce Feel free to call me for orders, menu planning, prices and anything really. #chefs #southwestchefs #foodservice

[Gavin Athanasiou @GavinAtForest]

@TomBunn2 @MitchTonks Ah Tom, it’s Gavin from Forest. Have Mark and Tony seen this? Hope you’re well mate. This is a fab idea
