Brilliant to host future chefs from across the local civilian catering community for a competition using military field catering equipment. Great fun and comraderie with a shared passion for cooking. Well done everyone!

A fantastic effort today by the participants of Ex COMBAT CATERER 23. We had teams from @WFCTweets, @yourcopc and @Exclusive_Hotel. With @WFCTweets taking the first prize!

An internet search will produce many principles to building a strong and successful team. A common theme is recognising and celebrating success. Today we publicly recognised six members of our team, for their hardwork, personal drive and commitment. Congratulations!! 🏆

This is a significant moment as we continue to bridge the gap between training and front-line, improving our trainees awareness and preparedness so they can deliver in their units from Day 1. BZ to the team. #operationalisation @DCLPA_HQ @DSLAWorthy_Down @RNLogsjobs

[UK Defence Food Services Training Wing @Def_Chef_School]

This week we pledged to continue operationalised training to our RN caterers and formalised the existing agreement for our trainees to spend a week onboard @HMSQNLZ, developing their galley and Defence Engagement skills. Nothing beats the real-world environment!

Today saw the graduation of the latest crop of Army Chefs, they are capable and ready to deploy. Straight after their graduation ceremony in the field, they served lunch to troops from the @ArmyAirCorps, optimising our training output with other Units.
