Thank you for your feedback about your time with us! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed working in the kitchen, learning from the cooks, and felt welcomed by our team. It’s great to know you found the team helpful and appreciated the experience overall.

However, I’d like to address a few points for clarity:

Firstly, working in a kitchen can indeed be stressful at times. It’s a fast-paced environment, and while this might occasionally seem intense, our team shares a strong bond and often relaxes and has fun together after work. The fact that many of our staff and volunteers return year after year reflects the camaraderie and positive experience they have here.

As for the accommodation, you mentioned some issues that were temporary during your stay. We had misplaced door keys at the time and were waiting for new locks to arrive, but typically each staff member has a key. Regarding the oven, it was disconnected for safety reasons after incidents involving it being left on, which posed a serious risk. That said, the kitchen is equipped with several appliances, including an air fryer, microwave, and electric hot plates, sufficient for the team to share.

We’re constantly working to improve and ensure our staff and volunteers have a great experience. Your feedback is appreciated, and we hope you gained valuable skills and memories during your time with us. All the best on your future adventures!
