You love cooking. We love cooking. Customers love cooking. It's a no-brainer so you wonder why so many other places don't do it. We do it, and you'll be doing it with us - fresh, customer led, and with high-quality ingredients.

You'll be part of a dedicated, supportive team, working from our flexible all-day menu to give people food that'll make their day. It'll be your responsibility to make each dish to spec, in a clean and safe kitchen, and to follow the lead of your Head Chef to make sure all prep and par is completed for each shift. You'll be helping every customer leave happy.

The Good Stuff

  • Tips shared equally across the team, based on hours worked
  • Paid breaks
  • Staff food on every shift, regardless of hours worked
  • 50% discount on food in all of our brands from day one
  • 28 days holiday (inclusive of Bank Holidays) pro rata
  • Competitions and incentives (like jetting off on an all expenses paid trip with one of our suppliers)
  • Christmas and Boxing Day off
  • The best staff party - Loungefest
  • Emotional and practical support via the Licenced Trade Charity
  • Power over your pay with Wagestream
  • Company pension scheme
  • Long service awards
  • Great opportunity for personal development and career progression in a fast-growing business

What you'll bring:

  • You may already have some kitchen experience as either a Kitchen Porter/Kitchen Assistant/Commis Chef, or this might be something brand new to you.
  • Driven and relentless, with a positive can do attitude.
  • Good communication skills and a team player.
  • Self-motivated to work at pace, with limited supervision
  • Strong knowledge of best practice when it comes to all things Allergens, kitchen essentials and Food Safety.
