Sammy, who lives in Crosshill with her husband Andrew, the night shift chef at the plant, explained: “It’s our job to ensure the staff here are all given healthy, balanced meals and I think it is great that ExxonMobil looks after its people in this way.”
Full capacity for the catering team means a huge order of 40kg of ready peeled potatoes and a massive 110kg of chips each week, in addition to baked potatoes, wedges and rice; 70-80kg of meat; 76kg of fruit and a whopping 40kg of cheese.
“We work a four week cycle and know exactly what to cook and how much of everything we will need so there’s very little waste,” explained Sammy.
