I had the best time at the school in Antwerp. I learned a lot about vegan cooking and the work was fun and simple. Everyone was so nice and I've met amazing people :) Also the rooms were very nice and comfortable. Thanks for everything, I would love to come to the school again someday:)

My experience at the school was reallly nice, i had a good time there. the school was great, the work is preparing the school to serve in the restaurant. The shifts were always good and fun! I think a better communication, just in general, sometimes would make the place much better! But i had a good time, the city is so pretty and i meet really nice people. :))

Great experience! For me it was the perfect choice as I was planning to move to Antwerp and I got to experience living in the city beforehand. Also I gained a lot of confidence in the kitchen and got to learn a lot of recipes! Chala, Alistair and Ruth are wonderful people to work with! The only thing I would say is that It can get a bit lonely ( not a lot of volunteers or spaces to build community…).

Being vegan this meant a lot to me to promote a plant based/vegan lifestyle at simones kitchen. You get to meet guests visiting the restaurant that is interested in plant based foods and want to have a sustainable lifestyle. I did my best to give each guests a good experience with its ether making the school or giving genuine customer service. It was over all a special experience for me and appreciate the team being patient with me. The learning curve was steep and the team is working on better communication.The city itself is small with nice parks/ cafe/ bars to visit on your time off. Thanks!

It was my first volunteering job and I really enjoyed it. Everyone is nice and it's a good place to meet people from all around the world. Chala makes sure that everyone gets their wishes regarding the work schedule so it's quite flexible. Although sometimes the internal communication could be worked on a bit, I would definitely do it again and recommend it to anyone that likes to cook. Accommodation is nice as well, and Antwerp is a great city. Overall I loved the experience!

My experience at the school was good. Beyond that, I think there are a few things that could be improved. But overall, I really enjoyed the experience and would recommend it.

My three month experience at the school was both valuable and professionally enriching. The work environment was welcoming and collaborative, with a positive atmosphere fostered by both the volunteers and the kitchen team. I gained practical experience in a dynamic setting where there was always something new to learn. While certain aspects, such as internal communication and hygiene protocols, could benefit from greater consistency and clearer standards, I genuinely appreciated my time there and would recommend the experience.

I genuienly enjoyed my time working at the school! The chefs and the other volunteers were lovely and created such a fun atmosphere to work in. What is more the work itself was quite fun and not too demanding. It offered a possibility to learn a lot about vegan cooking and the inner workings of a professional kitchen. In my opinion however, hygene should be more of a priority. During my entire stay there were mice everywhere in the kitchen while not enough action was taken to eradicate them. When I brought up that this circumstance poses a serious health risk, I was brushed off.

I had a good time volunteering at the school even though working in a restaurant really isn't for me. The chefs are very supportive, friendly and willing to teach. Their way of criticism is kind and they are patient with you even if you make the same mistakes over and over again. Sometimes you have to work in the morning and afternoon which is exhausting but still fun because the atmosphere is simply nice. Sadly there are many unsolved problems such as mice in the kitchen and water damages. I hope in the future they are solved.
