Twenty Seven’s Hospitality Academy opens for summer

In a bid to save the hospitality industry and help it out of its current crisis, as well as understanding the confusion youngsters can feel when considering their next steps in life, Jamie Rogers of Twenty-Seven in Kingsbridge wants to offer a lifeline to willing youngsters who may find that the hospitality sector is ideal for them.

Following a rocky start to his own career (he spent time in a young offender’s prison) Jamie soon straightened up following a summer as a pot-washer at The Cricket Inn at Beesands, then as a kitchen porter and general dogsbody, realising that his destiny was to work hard and make a name for himself in the kitchens, ultimately as a chef.
