Meet your lecturer

Steve Lloyd,
Deputy Head of Department,

I left school at 16 and went straight into full time work in hotels washing the pots. I then studied for a Chef qualification, and after many years of hard work I eventually achieved the position of Head Chef. I have been involved with the Hospitality industry all of my working life and would not change any part of it. One highlight of my career was when I was asked to cater when the Queen visited Salisbury and I was fortunate enough to be presented to the Queen during the reception. I have a passion for food and passion to share my knowledge with young people on their journeys to becoming Chefs.
