hire brigade - agency chefs
the right chef, right when you need them
At RAD Catering, we are proud to have built our own team of talented, fully trained chefs. We do differ from many other catering companies in that respect, we do not rely on agency temps; our chefs are ours and they are the heart of everything we do. During our busiest periods, they run our own events flawlessly. But at quieter times, some of our chefs, through Hire Brigade, are available to support other businesses across the South West, by bringing their expertise and professionalism to your kitchen.
We know how challenging it can be to find skilled, reliable chefs, and we want to help businesses across the South West meet that need. When you hire from our brigade, you’re getting more than temporary staff - you’re getting professionals trained in our kitchen, used to working to the highest standards, and ready to step in and deliver, whatever the occasion.
