Client Testimonials
Just a quick one to praise two agency chefs from Ginger. Rob and Liam smashed it out of the park during one of the busiest Sundays. The food looked good and we had no complaints. Agency chefs don’t get a lot of credit these days, but they have been a credit to Ginger today.
Thank you to the team at Ginger for supporting us with some relief cover for our front of House Team. They matched the brief perfectly in finding Danielle and she has been an excellent addition to the team. The Members love her and she has been a credit to Ginger Hospitality.
Joe was an absolute credit to the Team at Ginger. He brought a great support to the brigade and jumped straight into service. Ran the pass on a super busy service. We would definitely have him back!
From the initial contact, to the support and follow up, Ginger Hospitality has been a truly professional and I would not hesitate in recommending the Ginger Hospitality team. They are on the top of my list for agencies to call when looking for new team members.
I would like to take the opportunity to communicate how appreciative we are of Ginger’s support in recruiting staff for Bovey Castle. These are difficult times for recruitment, and we, like most of the hospitality sector, are suffering shortages of skilled staff. Ginger Hospitality has been very proactive, interviewing and providing us with quality staff, while dealing with some difficult situations with extreme professionalism and efficiency. I would like to thank the team at Ginger for all their support, they have been a real asset to us and deserve the credit.
Ginger Hospitality has supported us with some management recruitment recently. The team listened to the brief and managed to select a good shortlist which resulted in a job offer. I would have no hesitation in recommending Ginger Hospitality to support on any recruitment.
I have known the Ginger Hospitality Team for quite some time now, their passion for the industry helps them to have an understanding as to exactly what type of chef I was looking for and within a day the team had found him, Michael has been with me for 2 weeks so far and I could not be happier with how he has helped my team progress. I cannot thank the team at Ginger Hospitality enough, I will always pick up the phone to them should I ever need that little bit of cover that is vital to our industry.
“Ginger Hospitality was recommended to us as having excellent contacts in the hospitality and fine dining industry with a particularly strong network in the Ribble Valley. As we needed to recruit for a relatively specific role with a strong focus on wine knowledge, tapping into this network of industry professionals was vital for us. They quickly agreed to meet onsite, helped us craft the terms which would attract the right candidates and started work immediately to get the role filled. We received regular updates on progress and throughout the whole process the professionalism and high standard of work were apparent. Within a fortnight we had a suitable candidate interviewed, recruited and in the role. Excellent service.”
Candidate Testimonials
Ginger found me a role that was the perfect fit within the hospitality industry, they understood my personal view of the role I wanted and within 2 weeks, they made it happen. I am very pleased with my new position and couldn’t be happier.
A big Thanks to Ginger. They helped me to secure my Permanent Head Chef role through what was originally meant to be temporary cover. Ginger was very clear and transparent throughout all steps of the process. All parties involved in the negotiations were happy with the agreed outcome!
I have been working for Ginger Hospitality for a few months and it has been the best thing I have done. The rates of pay are great, so far I have worked at two venues and they have both been great. For the last two months I have not been out of work and even my family and friends have noticed a change in me for the good.
Ginger Hospitality is by far the best agency I have ever worked with. Everyone I have met and worked with who have come through the agency have been very professional, hardworking and very welcoming. They have placed me in a beautiful location and done absolutely everything possible to ensure that my stay here has been enjoyable. I love the company I’m working with and the team that works amongst this company.
The Team have been on hand every step of the way through my process of getting down here and are always there for regular support if ever needed. I’m paid a fantastic rate of pay by the company and I can see myself being a member of this team for a long time to come.
Thank you Ginger, it has been pleasure being employed by you.
I moved to agency work this year after working as a Commis to Demi to CDP, Snr CDP, Jnr Sous and more recently a Sous Chef in multiple establishments, full time, up and down the country for 8 years or so. I found the move into agency really smooth as it involves travelling and working at different establishments locally and nationwide based on personal preference. I get to do the work I love only with better pay, paid weekly and I get to see how different places work as well as meet many chefs and connections along the way! Ginger Hospitality are really friendly and easy to deal with too, as well as being accommodating to the type of work you are after.
I have had the wonderful pleasure of being part of the Ginger Hospitality FOH relief team.
I was provided an excellent service, including follow ups and feedback on my progress throughout. Ginger’s clientele base is made up of excellent locations including five star boutique hotels, resort spas and fine dining restaurants, where I have had the unique experience of being part of the service staff with live in accommodation provided.
I am extremely happy to be part of this amazing agency; both now and in the future
I need to say a massive thank you to the team at Ginger. I was at a point in my career where I needed a change and have now ended up with a position at my dream company, Le Manoir. Any questions I had in the process were answered promptly and in a friendly manner, and all information was readily available ahead of interview and trial.
Honestly the best agency I’ve ever been involved with, will recommend to anyone serious about pursuing their next venture in hospitality!
Having worked in hospitality and leisure for over 30 years at all levels from KP to Global business expansion I have never encountered such a switched on, professional and personable business as Ginger Hospitality.
I have had nothing but pleasurable experiences whilst working with the Team and I whole heartedly endorse this amazing business and fully recommend Ginger to any serious hospitality professional looking for a change be it a full time or temporary role.
Thank you to the knowledgeable Team in providing me with bespoke employment opportunities.
I was advised to give Ginger a call from a friend who was in a similar situation as me. As a married man with a young family, it was important to me that the hours, location and pay was specific to my needs. The team at Ginger were more than happy to help, accommodating my needs and creating a work-life-balance once considered only a rumour in the catering world. Before I knew it, I was all set with a job to walk into which met all my requirements. The team at Ginger did all the negotiations and I had little paperwork to go through and sign, giving me a less stressful transition period in-between jobs. At this moment in time there are a lot of agencies out there who just want to get you in, get paid and worry about problems later down the line. I feel Ginger take a more professional approach getting the right chef in the right place. If you’re asking yourself why go down the route of using Ginger? The simple answer is it’s in their best interest to get the best for YOU!
Thank you so much! I thought it would be impossible to find a place that could match the amount of love and pride I have in food and hospitality. I take a lot of pride in where I work, so finding somewhere that resonated with me and offered suitable pay and benefits was important! Finding the right place, within a travel-able distance, when I can’t drive would have been immensely difficult on my own and heavily time consuming. Ginger has been in contact for the past month and has helped with the process of applying, doing trial shifts and explaining every part with tips and advice, it was honestly a breeze. Going with an agency was effortless, especially as Ginger went through the process step by step for my trial shift, transport and any additional details to make it easier. I can happily say I have a career in a very highly regarded restaurant, where the food and service are beyond expectations! Thank you so much Ginger! You listened and found me the perfect role, of which I probably would never have found, especially in such a short period of time!
