- **Usage**: Chefs and bakers must bring their own ingredients, cook, prep, and pack on-site.

**Who We Are**:
Hi! I have five years of experience managing a small family-run pub, where I handled cooking, drinks, cleaning, and payments—all without needing extra staff. In this tight-knit community, everyone knows each other, which makes for a stress-free work environment.

I then worked as an assistant head chef at Pizza Zizzi in Westfield and later as a chef at David Lloyd Leisure Centre. My love for the pizza and lasagna from Zizzi inspired me to start my own company, allowing me to purchase pizza dough and tomato-based sauce from Bidfood. I began cooking for my family, and my experiences at David Lloyd led me to experiment with wraps, burgers, and pasta at home, believing I could sell them in shops.

Currently, I work as a crèche assistant, which limits my time for culinary experimentation as I seek a stable income. Last year, I attempted to secure the Lampton Parkside Café to run a children's after-school club, but startup loans did not cover the costs, resulting in losses for my company.

As a fully qualified chef, I can assist you in running your own business by providing advice and handling all necessary documents, including risk assessments, contracts, fire brigade evaluation plans, and more. I can guide you in achieving all relevant certifications to start your business in restaurants, pubs, takeaway services, manufacturing, preservation, preparation, packaging, food display, labeling, ingredient information, and nutrition facts compliant with HMRC and other regulations.

**Why Choose Us?**
- Clean and safe environment with strict hygiene protocols.
- Flexible booking options starting from just 1 hour—no long-term contracts or monthly fees required.
- Ideal for families with children over 16 who want to enjoy cooking together and learn more about culinary skills.
- Perfect for chefs, bakers, pastry chefs, and food manufacturers looking for a professional space.
- **Professional video training documentation** to showcase your culinary journey and brand on YouTube.
