On Thursday 24th August we hosted the event ‘Kitchen Confidential’ organised by Kate Lamy with an aim of raising money to build a school in Nepal after their devastating earthquake back in 2015.
8 amateur chefs took to Sirocco kitchen for the day, led by Head Chef Steve Walker & his team. They had to prepare all their dishes and ingredients from scratch and then go on to serve a full Restaurant Sirocco later that evening. The chefs were impressive and the dinner guests certainly enjoyed their meal!

The event was a huge success, raising £2,215 and everyone involved had a fantastic day and night!
“I can’t thank you and all your team at The Yacht enough for the support and effort you put into Kitchen Confidential.
I loved organising it, but to see the restaurant laid up so beautifully, with round tables and white tablecloths, and then the flowers and the photos of the chefs, just finished it all off to perfection.
The staff were a delight to spend the experience with. Their consideration and patience helped with our day, and has installed confidence in all of us to go on and cook our dishes at home. The waiting staff were so friendly and wanted to know all about the charity.”
Kate Lamy, Kitchen Confidential
Have you got what it takes to work in Sirocco Kitchen for one day alongside Steve & the team?
We will be hosting two Kitchen Confidential events. There are eight places available for amateur chefs, on both dates, to be taught by Steve in the professional kitchen during the day. This will be followed in the evening by a full restaurant service, run by the participants for their invited guests, whether this be friends, family, colleagues or clients.
There is a choice of 2 dates; Thursday August 24th or Thursday September 7th 2017.
This is not a competition, rather an experience to learn skills and tricks of the trade by an award-winning chef, and to work, as well as serve in a 3 AA Rosette restaurant. Steve will choose his ‘top’ student from each event and award them with a private dining voucher for the exclusive Wine Cellar.
The Kitchen Confidential experience will cost £150.00 per participant. This will be a full day of tuition and real life experience within a 3 AA Rosette restaurant, cooking from start to finish and producing high quality food in a professional environment. The lucky applicants will get to feel the expectations of clients/family, whilst having to produce under the watchful eye of Steve and his team.
The 3 course dinner will cost £45.00 per person and includes a pre-dinner drink.
The monies raised will go towards rebuilding a primary school in a village called Danda-Kharka in Nepal. I worked and spent a month with eleven volunteers on a Jersey Overseas Aid project in January 2015. In April 2015 this small village was hit badly by an earthquake in which seven children lost their lives and out of 97 buildings only two remained standing.
