Chef Lee - Infusing Care with Culinary Excellence at Ashton Manor

Introducing Lee, the inspiring Head Chef at Ashton Manor, an Evermore Care home. Beginning as a sous chef, Lee stepped up to the plate, or rather the kitchen, when the opportunity arose. "I’ve progressed a lot, and it was the right time to step up," Lee says, highlighting his commitment to growth and success.

Lee's approach to cooking perfectly mirrors the core values of Evermore Care: well-being, freedom, and community. His priority? The well-being of our residents. "The well-being of the residents is enjoying the food and making sure they have the nutrients they need," Lee states, reflecting his care and dedication.

Freedom, to Lee, means allowing residents to relish their favourite foods. "All our residents have the freedom of choice, to have the things they enjoy and the food they want," he proudly shares. Lee's Kitchen truly champions resident freedom.

Community plays a pivotal role in Lee's culinary world. Whether it's outdoor parties or delightful dining experiences, he ensures the Ashton Manor community thrives. "Definitely, we have outdoor parties, we invite the community in and always make sure that any mealtime is a great experience," Lee says, demonstrating his commitment to the community.

Despite the kitchen being "hard, fast-paced with a lot going on," Lee assures that the satisfaction far exceeds the challenges. The 5-star food and hygiene rating stands testament to his unwavering dedication and quality standards.

Off-duty, Lee's a football enthusiast, a keen cyclist, and a doting father. He relishes the work-life balance at Evermore Care, and thoroughly recommends Ashton Manor as "a great place to work".

Lee has a playful side too. He jests about competing with world-renowned chef, Gordon Ramsay, in the Ashton Manor kitchen. "I would love to see how much pressure he could handle in a care home kitchen!" he quips, showcasing the team's confident, passionate spirit.

Lee's combination of professional commitment, care for residents, and a dash of humour make him a cherished part of our team. Prospective residents are warmly invited to join the Ashton Manor community and savour the exceptional culinary experiences crafted by Chef Lee and his team.
