Case study Michael Halbert, head chef, the Fleece in Witney
What first led you into the kitchen as a commis? Cooking was something I used to do at home and at school and I remember the first dish I ever made was a curry for my dad. I trained at Stratford College and then did an apprenticeship with Nuthurst Grange and enjoyed it from the get-go.
What has been your biggest inspiration? The people above me working in the kitchen. Seeing what they were doing and how they worked motivated me to try and become more like them and get to their position. I’ve worked under a number of head chefs in Peach, such as Trevor Blake [pictured], who has helped me a lot in my career and is the life and soul of the kitchen. I also
worked under Mathias Rouvray at the Fishes who, although may come across as a tough chef, has taught me a lot. He still calls me to see if I need any help.
Have there been any mistakes along the way? One Monday night I forgot to do the stock order and so I had to get the bus to another pub to borrow some stock. And the time I put salt in the sweet pastry didn’t go down too well!
What are the most important lessons you’ve learned? Listen to what people are saying and take on responsibilities. Always keep driving forwards and don’t be afraid of hard work.
What Peach said about Michael Chef-director Corin Earland said: “Michael is calm and dedicated to his job. He is also a quick learner and, once he has been shown something, he can repeat the same thing again. That’s what Peach and our guests need – consistency. Michael is the second person we’ve ever had move from commis to head chef at Peach and I don’t think it is possible to do in less than four years.”
