      All succesful candidates recieve a certificate which is valid for three years.

      Kitchen design and equipment

      We have helped create several new community kitchens over the past few years: for example at Whitehawk School, and at Portslade Village Centre. Ask us if you would like our advice about:

        • planning and designing spaces for community cookery activities
        • consultation with stakeholders
        • equipment

        • issues around ongoing maintenance, replacement and repair.
