Roger Hay

Former Ashburton Chefs Academy student, Roger Hay, who is now the chef for the rugby team, Exeter Chiefs, had this to say about his past and our accredited centre, Ashburton:

"I’d always wanted to be a chef, ever since I was a little kid, but I didn’t go down that road initially. I’d only describe my abilities prior to joining Ashburton as a passionate home cook. I hadn’t done any professional cookery at all".

"The most beneficial part of the course for me personally was the Dining Clubs that we held at the end of the training. It’s a lot of pressure and that certainly helps prepare you".
