Busy Café – Farm Shop Kitchen | Newlyns Farm Shop
Are you a passionate chef who loves great ingredients?
Looking for a fast‑paced, food‑led kitchen with real input and responsibility?
We’re looking for a Sous Chef to join our busy café kitchen at Newlyns Farm Shop. Our café is the tasting plate for the farm shop, showcasing the best of what we sell — and what’s in season.
This is a hands‑on role for an experienced chef who enjoys working at pace, leading by example, and cooking with high‑quality ingredients sourced directly from the farm shop and trusted suppliers.
The Role
As Sous Chef, you’ll:
- Support the Head Chef in running a busy café kitchen
- Lead service in a high‑volume, daytime environment
- Use farm shop ingredients to create fresh, seasonal dishes
- Have input into menu planning, specials, and development
- Maintain high standards of food quality, consistency, and hygiene
- Help train and motivate the kitchen team
This is a practical, front‑line role — ideal for a strong Sous Chef or an experienced Chef de Partie ready to step up.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience working as a Sous Chef or senior chef in a busy kitchen
- Strong organisational skills and calmness under pressure
- A genuine passion for food and ingredients
- Someone who enjoys teamwork and takes pride in delivering great service
The Benefits
- Closed at Christmas (minimum 3 days) and Easter (2 days)
- Staff discount in the farm shop.
- Work for a family‑run business, not a chain
- Daytime‑focused café hours (no late nights)
- Real involvement in menus and food direction
- A supportive team and food‑led working environment
Hours & Location
- Full‑time role
- Weekend work required
- Based at Newlyns Farm Shop, Hampshire
