The sabbatical officer group were lucky enough to get an invitation to University Central Kitchen over on The Vale last week. We got a tour of the HUGE kitchen, which produces 37,000 meals per week, for all catering outlets across campus.
We went all around the kitchens, through walk in fridges with very tempting cakes, saw Fresh Thinking- where many student groups and the RAs get food for events and even a fridge just for cheese. WOW WOW WOW.
Some fun facts from the tour....
-> The kitchen use non alcoholic wine in their recipes- to cater for students with specific dietary requirements
-> They get through 39,000 kgs of chips each week
-> And 15 litres of soup per day!
-> AND 140 cucumbers
I will add more facts when the rest of the sabbs remind me what they were!
We are all off to the Hub at Shackleton soon for tea- will let you know how Central Kitchen fair up!
