Fuel, Focus & the Human Side of Hospitality | Burnt Brunch with Cornish Sea Salt
Episode 160
Tuesday, 10 March, 2026

What does it actually take to look after yourself on a long shift? Not in a wellness-buzzword way - in a real, practical, 'it's-3pm-and-you've-not-had-water-since-9am' kind of way. In this special episode of The Burnt Chef Journal, we bring you the recorded panel discussion from our Burnt Brunch event, hosted in partnership with Cornish Sea Salt. Over two focused hours, four brilliant contributors sat down to talk honestly about nutrition, hydration, energy, mental health and leadership in hospitality, and what came out of that room was something worth sharing. You'll hear from: Sean Wrest on lived experience, mental health, fatigue and why normalising these conversations in our industry still matters Philip Tanswell (Salt Geek) of Cornish Sea Salt on the science of electrolytes, hydration and what actually happens to your body when you're under-fuelled on shift Julie Robinson, Director of People & Culture, on leadership, building the right culture and supporting teams beyond the pass Ben Snape on how to make the learning stick long after the event ends This isn't about chasing perfection. It's about the small, practical changes that help teams stay energised, focused and human - even on the hardest days.
