This will include setting out the dining area, clearing away, washing up, food storage and food preparation using a range of commercial kitchen equipment as instructed by the Cook Supervisor/Assistant Cook. You will maintain the highest kitchen and food hygiene standards and use knowledge of food hygiene and allergens to ensure cross contamination is avoided.
