Southport reservist chef Anthony Morris represented the RAF in a national event to celebrate Armed Forces Week and Tesco’s support of military veterans and reservists

A reservist chef from Southport represented the RAF in a national event to celebrate Armed Forces Week and Tesco’s support of military veterans and reservists. 

AS2 Anthony Morris, from Southport’s 611 Squadron, joined catering colleagues from the Royal Navy and the Army for a live cook-off event.

The day saw the military contingent working alongside culinary colleagues from the supermarket. 

Held at Tesco’s headquarters in Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire, the event highlighted the power of food in bringing communities together.

It featured recipes inspired by cooking on military operations such as ‘Chicken Curry in A Hurry,’ as well as a traditional Ukrainian recipe. 

AS2 Morris prepared a Ukrainian Borscht, using ingredients including beetroot, pork tenderloin and crème fraîche.

Anthony said: “It was such a great day. I really enjoyed meeting and working alongside fellow military colleagues and the Tesco Development chefs – everyone did really well and worked together.”

Based at RAF Woodvale, 611 Squadron draws in reserves from across the North West. As well as working as chefs, squadron personnel train in air and space operations, intelligence, ground engineering, logistics, human resources, the media and chaplaincy services to support the RAF in the UK and overseas on main bases and on operations.

The squadron also has an engineering facility in Aintree. Recent work delivered by squadron members has included delivering Covid-19 mobile testing units in the North West, the fight against terrorism in Nigeria, supporting Baltic Air Policing operations in Estonia, and media operations in Norway, Cyprus and Scotland.

Wing Commander Stephen Chaskin OBE, the Officer Commanding of 611 Squadron, said: “Our chefs play an integral part of squadron life and are involved in tasks at RAF Woodvale, across the North West the UK and around the world. The competition was a great opportunity to highlight their work, not just in 611 Squadron, but across our entire Armed Forces.”
