King’ori nyan-born chef, Bernice Kariuki, has left her role as Arsenal chef following the conclusion of the 2022/2023 Premier League season. Bernice Kariuki has served in the position for two years.
Bernice worked under Arsenal’s executive chef, where she was responsible for preparing meals for first-team players and management.
She joined the Gunners in 2021, shortly after Mikel Arteta’s appointment. She made the announcement on Sunday after Arsenal’s last game against Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Emirates Stadium.
“A final day flourish. I finished the season with a bang! Simply the best!!! Arsenal… Arsenal… Arsenal.. 2020/2023 was the best special season ever. I hang my gloves as a very proud chef; it’s been an honour working for the best club in the whole world… I was truly humbled!”
She wrote.
Before joining Arsenal, she acquired considerable experience in the hospitality sector having been employed at high-end hotels in London.
Bernice did not reveal her next move. But thanked Kenyans for their support over the years.
“More blessings in my next job. It’s been like a royal dream, truly humbled. Thank you, especially my country Kenya,” she wrote.
