Here at Strawberry Fields we support disadvantaged adults to develop work-based skills within a real business environment. We train individuals in skills that promote independence

Strawberry Fields is an inspiring place that gives practical training in food preparation and hospitality within a fully working commercial kitchen. We specialise in training in good health and safety practice and food hygiene. Our committed team will provide advice and guidance while learning the essential skills required for a new career.

Our team provides meals and snacks for a busy Sure Start Children's Centre. We cater for more than 50 children, making snacks and meals that meet strict government guidelines on nutrition. The team maintains the high standards of cleanliness and health and safety. Our aim is to support service users in gaining experience that could lead to local paid employment in the future.

We are based just five minutes drive from Freeport designer village and within easy walking distance from the town centre. Free onsite parking is available for customers.

We are passionate about reducing discrimination and promoting equal opportunities in the community. All profits are reinvested back into Essex Cares to develop and improve the service we offer our customers. By using us you are supporting disadvantaged adults to acquire the skills and experience to achieve further independence.
