Alice Davey joined Potters Grange as Head Chef ready for it’s opening in July 2021. She has bought with her a wealth of experience and knowledge from other establishments and her passion for presenting tasty and attractive dishes is clear for everyone to see.
Alice tells us a bit about her journey as a budding chef and what makes her role at Potters Grange so special …
‘From a young age I have always had a keen interest in cooking and baking. I used to bake every weekend with my father, and so I knew from early on that I wanted to be a chef.
Here I am blessed with a state-of-the-art brand new and well-equipped kitchen. As a team at Potters Grange we really focus on a person-centred approach and this, for me personally, is a privilege as it enables me to build a relationship with each resident, centred on food. In my time here at Potters Grange I feel we have gained a real sense of family and our good meals prepared from fresh and local produce are at the heart of that.
As Potters Grange is home to a maximum of 20 people, this family like understanding makes it a lot easier to meet every individual’s needs and requirements. This means that residents not only get the meals they like, but they are cooked just the way they like them as well!’
