Chef- Daytime Hours Only

2 weeks ago

Eastbourne BN XB, United Kingdom Urban Ground Full time £28,800 per year

Urban Ground has a fantastic opportunity to join our friendly team at our South Street café.

Why this role?

  • Daytime shifts only — no evenings, no split shifts
  • Be finished by 4pm most days
  • Create delicious, modern brunch dishes and seasonal bakes from scratch
  • Free meals on shift + 25% staff discount
  • Unlimited specialty coffee from Square Mile

Who are we?

Urban Ground is home to two specialty coffee shops in Eastbourne. We pride ourselves on serving exceptional food and drinks with outstanding customer service.

Our brunch menu has grown in popularity and weekends are busy. All of our cakes and traybakes are baked fresh in-house, with recipes tweaked seasonally to keep things interesting. We work with one of the best roasters in the UK, Square Mile, and you'll never be short of good coffee.

The role

We're looking for an experienced chef who:

  • Thrives in a busy kitchen environment and maintains high standards of quality and cleanliness
  • Has skills in both savoury and sweet prep — from brunch dishes to traybakes and mini cakes
  • Enjoys working with fresh, seasonal produce and adapting recipes
  • Is organised and confident with systems for stock management and menu costings

Our brunch menu changes seasonally to highlight the best local produce. The kitchen also supplies both cafés with baked goods, and we have a broad recipe library alongside well-established systems to support you.

While evenings aren't part of the regular rota, we do run occasional pop-up events — from wine pairings to collaborative supper clubs — and you'll be encouraged (and supported) to get creative with these.

What we offer

  • Daytime hours: kitchen open 8am – 4pm
  • Free meals on shift + 25% staff discount
  • Unlimited coffee
  • Supportive, informal team environment
  • Opportunity to develop creative dishes and contribute ideas

If you want to work with passionate people, cook from scratch with fresh ingredients, and still have your evenings free, we'd love to hear from you.
