Barchester Healthcare’s National Chef Academy Celebrates 1 Million Meals Milestone
Barchester Healthcare’s Chef Academy addresses a decade-high chef vacancy by training local talent and serving 1 million meals monthly across 260 UK care homes.
- Barchester Healthcare's National Chef Academy reached one million meals per month across 260 care homes, signaling a shift toward treating dining as more than nutrition.
- Chef vacancies sit at a decade high after chefs were removed from the Skilled Worker Visa list, and with nearly one in four Britons projected to be over 65 by 2040, the Academy says it must cultivate local talent.
- The Academy offers structured career pathways from commis to head chef with apprenticeships and internal competitions, led by Mervyn Knights, Hospitality Commissioning and Academy Manager, who oversees 50 workshops annually across five divisions.
- Barchester says chefs leave with confidence and pride, and the programme offers an alternative to restaurant kitchens with stability and purpose, recruiting via jobs.barchester.com.
- Menus span roast dinners, fish and chips, and themed celebration teas, reflecting training influenced by Mervyn Knights' week at Raymond Blanc's Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons.
