When did you join Rarebreed Dining?
I joined in 2015 as a Kitchen Assistant at our first site.
What are you proudest of since joining?
I am super proud of how far I’ve come since joining Rarebreed. Working alongside my husband, Szymon, all those years and watching us both progress to Head and Sous Chef has been a privilege. I’ve loved training up and mentoring other chefs to reach their full potential.
What is it you love about hospitality?
The community. Everyone supports each other and looks after one another. It’s amazing to be a part of.

What originally attracted you to work in Hospitality?
When I was 18 I got a job in Walt Disney World, Florida, which was arguably the best year of my life. Working in an industry that rewards hard work and allows me to surround myself with like minded people means it hardly feels like work at all.
When did you join Rarebreed Dining?
I joined in 2018 as the General Manager of the Plough Inn.
What is your favourite memory of working for Rarebreed Dining so far?
Opening the Waverley, our fourth venue. We were really ‘in the trenches’ for the weeks leading up to its opening, building shelves, coming up with stock lists, getting everything in place, training a team and then seeing that team flourish over the months to come. I loved it.

How would you describe the environment of working at Rarebreed?
It’s great! We’ve all worked to create an amazing culture at our sites where everyone supports each other and we know how to have fun, whilst getting the job done.
What’s one thing you’ve learned or experienced here that you wouldn’t get anywhere else?
You’re really trusted here - I’ve had the chance to run venues as though it’s my own business, learning so much about how it all works. You’d never get that in a larger operation and I’ve really enjoyed it.
