Chefs tell us what annoys them the most about the festive period!
It's the busiest time of the year for the hospitality industry and we wanted to know what Annoys chefs the most about the Christmas period.
We asked our social media followers to send us their festive moans, from long hours to last minute changes to a big party's pre order - here are the top chef moans of the season:
Everything and everyone
Being Asked by everyone, why don’t you have a proper job?
Pre orders then party turns up with a dietary requirement. Not mentioned on the pre order!
