Training will be given in all other areas to enable you to manage the kitchen in the absence of the Head chef.

In addition, you will be part of the team that designs and trials our product range for Valentines, Mother’s Day, Easter and Christmas brochure, from which we generate hundreds of orders every year.

Salary is negotiable depending on your experience. In return for your commitment, you can expect excellent benefits including a good rate of pay, a yearly profit share bonus and tips share.
We kindly request that applicants send a covering letter along with a copy of their CV. This is a professional management position and applicants without a covering letter will not be short listed. After interviews have taken place applicants will be invited to spend some time in the kitchen with us. The day will comprise of an overview of the company, a clear understanding of the role, taking part in the running of that particular day and a few pre-set tasks which you will be informed of prior to the day.
