GALLEY NEWS

Whether you are new to the club or are an old timer, we have updated the galley procedures and forms to comply with Food Safety Agency guidelines. We have tried to comply with the guidance whilst not making it too onerous.
The details can be found on the website pages Galley Guide.

This guide also in the Galley Folder in the kitchen.

The main changes are:

  • Aprons to be worn when doing galley duty
  •  When food is being prepared you may not enter the galley wearing outdoor clothing, including wetsuits!
  • The dishwasher must be used for EVERYTHING - All plates, bar glasses, utensils and cookware must be washed in the dishwasher. It may be necessary to do a hand prewash to remove stubborn dirt, but then there must be a final wash in the dishwasher to sterilise in order to kill bacteria. Mugs and bar glasses must not just be swilled out in cool water and left on the draining rack to dry. If the dishwasher is not on, then rinse and leave on the dishwasher tray to go through the dishwasher when it is next on.
  • The fridge allocation has changed to clearly separate cooked and uncooked food, they are clearly labelled. The members fridge is now the fridge under the hot water urn.
  • Allergens labels to be used for all prepared food to be stored in both fridges and freezer

Thanks, Hanna.
