There are provisions and pantries to look after with stock rotation and orders to be made. Weekends will be the busiest of times with expected entertaining, charity events and family occasions.
The house has two kitchens, one domestic kitchen and one private kitchen. Extra support in the kitchens is offered for large events and social occasions.
