When asked about his work placement and the impact it has had, Patrick said:
“I enjoyed my work experience as it allowed me to learn from other chefs and understand how to deal with situations that I struggled in. During my placement I learnt how to priorities tasks, improve my speed and be efficient during service. I am excited about my new role and to work in a place that I have become accustomed to. I am really looking forward to finding out what else I can learn from the establishment.”
Speaking about his future plans, Patrick added:
