Here is episode 2 of our new podcast series Sustain That Thought. We are excited to talk with Will Carvalho, performance chef at premiership rugby club, Gloucester Rugby.

Will is changing things up at Kingsholm with regard to food, hospitality, player nutrition and wellbeing. His job is to fuel the players and staff, and now hospitality delegates at Kingsholm. Things are certainly changing in his kitchen. 

Will said that an army marches on its stomach and players are like Formula 1 racing cars, they need a well-oiled engine and different players need different fuel.  Top flight rugby training is intense and you believe ‘food is mood’ and quality food makes all the difference. 

Will takes us behind the scenes and what a typical day looks like on the pass. He also has some interesting insight into sustainable foods and local produce to make great plates of food.
