A brilliant opportunity to join our flagship French Bistro in the heart of Marlborough.
We’re a growing, independent hospitality group with two bistros and a French deli/traiteur, known for beautiful French dishes, exceptional patisserie, proper cheeses, charcuterie, salads, soufflés and daily specials. Our Marlborough site is lively, friendly and fast‑paced — and we’re looking for a Chef who thrives in that environment.
About the role
This is a customer‑facing kitchen position in our open bistro kitchen. Much of our cooking is prepared by our production kitchen; your role is to finish, assemble and present dishes with speed, accuracy and charm. You’ll work closely with the chefs and the front‑of‑house team to deliver a smooth, energetic service.
You’ll need confidence, initiative, and the ability to stay organised when it’s busy. If you enjoy being part of a warm, hard‑working team and you like the buzz of a bistro where guests can see you in action, you’ll fit right in.
What we’re looking for
- Previous kitchen experience in a busy environment
- Comfortable working in an open kitchen and interacting with guests
- A natural team player who communicates well with FOH and BOH
- Someone who takes initiative, stays calm under pressure and enjoys problem‑solving
- Reliable, punctual, well‑presented and enthusiastic
- Keen to learn our heating, finishing and plating techniques
- Able to multitask and maintain high standards of cleanliness and organisation
Key responsibilities
- Deliver fast, consistent service in an open kitchen
- Prepare and finish dishes according to our menu
- Create and execute daily specials with the Head Chef
- Maintain excellent hygiene, safety and food‑handling standards
- Keep the kitchen clean, tidy and guest‑ready at all times
- Work collaboratively with the whole team to ensure every guest has a fantastic experience
- Adapt to varied prep and service requirements — flexibility is essential
Why join us
- A friendly, supportive team with a strong French food culture
- A growing business with opportunities to develop
- A sociable, guest‑focused environment where your personality can shine
- Beautiful food, great atmosphere and an enjoyable place to work
