well its about time I posted here again, its been way too long since my last blog.
Im stil in London , cant believe its been nearly 2 years since I moved here and Im still loving it.
Im now working with a catering company as a waitress and its soo much fun. I get sent to different locations around London, depending on the contracts the company gets. I mainly work in 4 places, 2 conference centres, an office cafe and an event catering company.
Each of the places are very different and I get to experience a side of catering I
have always wanted to but never had the chance to do. Out of the 4 places the event catering company is the most fun. Its just like working in a proper restaurant, except we dont have a building. We arrive at a location and within 3 hours have set up a resturant in what was an open space. This week we were in The Royal courts of Justice in London, which during the day is a proper working Court. We turn up at 5pm, and thats when the magic army of catering staff transform the main hall and back corridors. Each night is a different event, on Thursday it was The Finincial Times Award show for Lawers and on Friday it was a company dnner. Each event though is a 3 course meal with tea and coffee, wine and water and the smallest one is approx 250 people. Its soo amazing to watch and be part of the tranformation, as by the end of the night, everything has to be packed up again and the place has to be back to its normal appearance. Working with the catering company is such a refreshing change for me. Im still doing the work I love, in catering but I can have the flexibilty of chosing when and where to work which I have never had before. As each day is different I dont get bored , and I can enjoy the work and have fun with my collegues without all the usual work politics and crap which happens in most jobs. ok thats it for now, butI will be back soon with another update
