Lucy Field

I am a hardworking and ambitious person with a passion for baking and a love for food as a whole! I completed my L3 patisserie & confectionary course in 2020 and since then have developed a wide variety of skills across pastry, chocolate & gelato. I have also developed a lot of organisational skills through my volunteer work with Hailsham & Sussex Young Farmers Club.

My culinary journey is best shown through my Instagram page, which is detailed above. I enjoy working as a team amongst a dynamic working environment, particularly enjoying creative or people based work. I also have a full UK Driving license.
