Fitzwilliam catering and conference department are pleased to announce the appointment of two new members of staff; Robert Clarke as Catering Manager and Richard Wayman as Head Chef.
Robert, formerly Service & Hospitality Manager at Murray Edwards College studied catering in Worcester, joined The Restaurant Group as a Branch Manager and then became Area Manager with responsibility for fourteen restaurants. He also operated pubs in Cornwall and Cambridge. Robert is an active member of the Cambridge Catering Managers Committee, and served as Chairman in 2011.
Richard comes to Fitzwilliam College from King’s College, where he was Head Chef for five years. A high point was his involvement in menu planning and cooking for the banquet for HM the Queen in honour of Cambridge University’s 800th Anniversary celebrations. He started his career as apprentice chef at King’s, returning as Sous Chef in 2004 after spells at both Emmanuel and Homerton. He was swiftly promoted to Head Chef, establishing an excellent reputation for fine dining. Richard said, “I am eager to share my passion for food and keen to inspire a new team to achieve the highest standards. I’m looking forward to the challenges ahead.”
