‘Teddy Hall’ is home to some of the most talented undergraduates and postgraduates in the world. The College is one of the oldest in Oxford, dating back to the 13th century, and yet has a strong reputation for forward thinking. In January 2022, the current Head Chef John McGeever is retiring.
The College are looking for a talented Executive Head Chef to lead the catering team, and to continue their tradition of delivering innovative high-end cuisine to its international community.
The kitchens are modern and well-equipped. The supply chain is focused on using high quality ingredients with good sustainability credentials. The Executive Head Chef will be responsible for delivering outstanding food and service, combined with motivating leadership through first-class management of the catering team.
The team, led by Carla McKenzie, were meticulous in every detail. They modelled the cleaning requirements to deliver the optimum solution for the facilities across EMEA, and really took time to understand the culture of our business. I have no hesitation in recommending MYA and its team – they are dedicated and innovative, and always go the extra mile.

Carla and her team have broad experience in the industry. Apart from being very supportive in inventing (new) concepts, they also make use of their many years of experience when implementing these concepts. Their ultimate goal is to let people enjoy honest and good food.
Carla and her team worked tirelessly with us to ensure our very international and cross-cultural needs were met with great creativity and skill. They listened to us, responded to our needs and delivered above expectations.

They are brave enough to challenge others in pursuit of the ultimate solution, whether it be behind the scenes with kitchen flow and catering management, or front-of-house service and design.

If all companies who serve the independent school sector had your breadth of vision and openness of mind, I have little doubt that the sector would be a richer and more exciting place to be.

During the negotiation process, Carla’s knowledge and expertise enabled our company to achieve a very strong commercial outcome, and some significant savings were yielded from the exercise.
