Symoun Genobatin

Head Chef

Hi, my name is Symoun and I am the head chef here at Marnel Lodge. I joined Barchester in 2022 working in a sister Barchester home before moving to Marnel Lodge. Before that, I worked for a fine dining restaurant which is where I gained my skills and confidence. I love being able to make our residents happy through the love of food and take pride in every dish.

Dietary requirements

For residents who have difficulties swallowing, we modify the menu of the day so that the dishes are more palatable for them. To support our chefs in producing these dishes, our hospitality team and our Chef Academy organise theory and practical workshops. The chefs work with the chef trainer to prepare tasty, modified meals safely and according to IDDSI frame work. This encourages residents to eat and enjoy their food. All our chefs have been trained in IDDSI food descriptors.

Attracting top chefs

Our chefs are recruited on the basis of an interview with the regional hospitality support team and the manager of the home. Selection also involves a practical element, where potential chefs are asked to cook for and meet a panel of people living in the home. Chefs take their job extremely seriously and the annual Barchester Chef Competition sees our chefs battle it out in regional heats and then at a national final for the accolade of 'Barchester's Chef of the Year'.
