Tameside Sea Cadets - Cook Steward Specialisation

Cook/Steward

From time to time the British weather can stop Cadets getting out on the water, but there are plenty of other activities to keep Cadets busy when that happens. Everyone needs to know how to prepare healthy meals and Cadets themselves are always hungry!

Cadets are schooled in cookery and stewarding, food hygiene and preparation, menu planning and serving meals. They start with basic safety and hygiene and galley familiarisation, and before they know it are serving up mess dinners and formal meals, complete with a full range of cutlery and fancy folded napkins!

There are plenty of opportunities for the Cadets to use their various cook/steward skills on unit training weekends, at parents’ and supporters’ evenings and at fundraising events. And, of course, these skills are very useful both at home and when looking for part-time work. You can even get an NVQ (National Vocational Qualification).
