We do not normally award Employee of the Month to any of our Heads of Departments preferring to recognise and highlight the deserving foot-soldiers, but have made a special and fitting exception for August in doing so for Freddie, the Head Chef in Anni’s Hideaway, following an incredibly busy month during the heatwave. Freddie started work at Moores in 1992 as a kitchen assistant and soon demonstrated his flair and passion for cooking resulting in him being promoted to commis chef. He then worked his way up the ladder under various head chefs gaining valuable experience before being promoted to Head Chef himself in 1996, a position he has now held for an amazing thirty years.

During this time, he has come to know many of our regular patrons personally and enjoys catering for their numerous special requests and says he has learnt much about different styles of cookery whilst working with colleagues of many different nationalities over the years. He would like to pay special tribute to dear Anni, with whom he worked closely for so long, saying she always supported him and it was her that christened him, very appropriately, Speedy Gonzalez, a name which has stuck ever since!

Out of work, Freddie dotes on his family and has three children and two grandchildren who all keep him very busy. He enjoys walking his dog as it gets him outdoors and he is currently planning a holiday to his native Madeira to visit his Mother in the New Year.

Thank you Freddie for all your hard work, Anni’s Hideaway wouldn’t be the same without you. Very much part of the Moores family and of the old-school, you are a mentor and shining example to your younger colleagues and we all hope you will continue to be so for many years to come…🇬🇬🇵🇹🏨👨🏻‍🍳🌞🏆💯👏🏼
