“I think this is the warmest it’s ever been in here” - What it’s like to work in a pub kitchen on the hottest day of the year
“No, I haven’t taken a temperature check, but just take a look at my forehead”, says Frankie, the chef de partie at The Church Inn pub in Cheadle Hulme, as he wipes his brow. Professional kitchens are typically hot environments, but today, as temperatures in the UK passed 40C for the first time ever, chefs, kitchen porters and serving staff really felt the heat.
Unsurprisingly, today the beer garden is busy as usual, with punters making the most of the hot weather. Inside, it’s a different picture, with just the pub’s bar and kitchen staff milling around and trying to keep cool. "In terms of staff safety and kitchen temperatures, it's making sure staff are hydrated and we've also got lots of ventilation and fans on to keep them nice and cool."
Amy, who’s pouring a pint as we speak, tells me she doesn’t think it’s too bad. "Honestly, it’s not as bad as a lot of people probably expect it to be, because you’re moving around and doing stuff, which distracts you from it, whereas if you’re just sat there not doing anything that’s the worst. “But it’s nice you get to chat to people, everyone’s outside, people are in a good mood because the sun’s out, they’re having a beer. “It’s better than when it’s miserable outside, today is a nice day to actually get out and do something.”
