I had a great time working in the school. The work was easy and the place is really chill. I was told beforehand that some shifts would longer than others, depending on how busy the restaurant is. I had a but of an issue my last week, because it was really busy and I worked quite a few hours over thirty and when I mentioned it to the manager I wasn't met with a lot of understanding. But we made it work in the end. Other than that it was a nice experience. I met some lovely people working there, the chefs are all really nice and it makes for a chill workplace.

The school is a wonderful place where you can meet new people and share an interest in cooking . My time there was amazing for my first volunteer experience 🥰

It was my first volunteer experience and it was very interesting. I really liked working with Chala and Ruth and learned a lot about vegan cuisine and got to practice lots of recipes. However I found some things to be a little wrong, for example the schedule of the shifts are not well organized regarding the 5 hours we should work, 6 shifts a week so it's 30 at the end of the week. Most of the times we have to work more hours and they leave a lot of responsibilities only to the volunteers to deal by themselves. Overall it was very fun and I traveled a lot to other places so that was very cool!

The experience was really nice! The cheffs are really nice, the atmosphere is calm, and you get to meet so many people. The location is fantastic (Antwerp is a big city, so many things to do), and the facilities where you stay are excellent! The work can range from being more chill to a bit more demanding, depending on how busy the place is. It's a dynamic environment. The tasks include cooking, preparing dishes, setting up the restaurant, attending to customers, and sometimes taking care of the laundry (washing, drying, and folding). It was a nice experience! :)

I loved my stay at the school. Working with Ruth, Milena and Chala was always fun and I learned very much about cooking vegan the school, plating dishes and serving in a restaurant. Since we spent our time there as a couple, we were provided a private room. The atmosphere during the shifts was always great and the work has never been overwhelming, although some evenings it can get quite crowded. All in all, we spent a beautiful time in the B&B and Antwerp.

I am really grateful for my stay at the school! It was a great first experience and Alistair, Ruth, Milena and Chala made me feel really welcomed. Work can be a bit stressful, especially for someone with no experience, but I never felt under pressure or too exhausted. I learned a lot about the work in and around the kitchen and also improved my social skills. Due to their concept of working with only volunteers, i met a lot of lovely people from all around the world. All in all I couldn't have had a better first experience and if you think about applying, I can definitely recommend it!

I had a really nice experience, and I can just say thank you to all the people working in here, they were the most welcoming and kind people. The kitchen work was really interesting and you get the chance of experiment a lot while cooking. Antwerp is a lovely city with lots of nice places to visit, it's pretty calmed and quiet, I will definitely come back❤️

My time at the school was really nice and it flew by! Working with Ruth, Chala and Milena in the kitchen, as well as with the other volunteers, was fun and chill and I loved learning more about preparing vegan and healthy meals. The volunteers there were really interesting and welcoming people. Our schedules were flexible, although some shifts could be a bit tiring. The room I stayed in was very nice, but didn't have a shower, so I had to use one in the other volunteers rooms. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely recommended it! 🥰

I spent three months volunteering at the school and I can 100% recommend this experience. Alistair, Ruth and Milena are very welcoming and communicative. They understand that you are a volunteer and still have to learn a lot, so you can ask as many questions as you like and if you make some mistakes you receive constructive criticism instead of just being scolded. Shifts can sometimes be long or a bit stressful but stress is well-managed by the hosts and the atmosphere among team members is never really tense. Overall a really good experience.

I really enjoyed my time at the school. Ruth was really nice and also Milena and Alistair were really patient and helped a lot. The job can be hard sometimes, but you get free days where you can explore Antwerp and the cities nearby. I really had a great time, Antwerp is a wonderful city and I made a lot of new friends. A piece of my heart will always stay there. Thank you for everything!
