Richie has worked at Woodcote Park for 12 years and is very positive about his time at the Club and the general kitchen environment. He explained, ‘I work directly under the Head Chef and have considerable responsibility for delivering the highest standards of performance and food. A passion for excellence is critical and the Club Management – in particular our Executive Chef Philip Corrick – has developed my skills and experience. I have also had invaluable encouragement and support from a number of Head Chefs and enjoyed secondments to Michelin starred restaurants in London, Spain and France. My progress has been both challenging and highly enjoyable and I feel there is still scope for me to progress further here.’
