The Guillemot is a produce-led deli and café combo focused on good food, great coffee, and doing things properly without taking ourselves too seriously. We prep food daily for three locations, so organisation, consistency, and teamwork matter just as much as creativity.
This role suits someone early in their baking or cheffing career, or equally someone experienced who wants early starts, early finishes, and no nights. If you like structure, rhythm, and seeing your food enjoyed by hundreds of people each day, you’ll feel right at home.
The Role
You’ll be part of a small, energetic kitchen team responsible for daily prep and baking, including:
- Baking scones, traybakes, cakes, and sweet treats
- Preparing weekly rotating salads
- Rolling and baking sausage rolls (including weekly flavour specials)
- Producing vegan rolls
- Sandwich prep and fillings
- Preparing soup of the day
- Food prep and distribution for 3 Guillemot locations
There’s plenty of scope to bring new flavours, ideas, and seasonal suggestions to the table once you’re settled.
Hours
- Early starts with early finishes (typically starting around 6:00am)
- No evenings or late nights
- 36-40 hours per week
- One work day must be at the weekend
- Hours to be discussed with the right candidate
Who This Is For
- Someone keen to learn and develop within a busy, real-world food operation
- Comfortable following systems while building confidence and speed
- Open to guidance, feedback & keeping with ever-improving recipes
- Equally suited to someone experienced who wants a better work-life balance
What We’re Looking For
- Basic baking or kitchen experience (professional or strong home experience considered)
- Good organisation and time management
- An interest in food, flavours, and consistency
- Ability to work as part of a close-knit team
- Reliability, this role feeds three shops, so showing up matters
The Environment
This is a fun, social kitchen with plenty of crossover with front-of-house staff. Expect good banter, strong coffee (drink as much as you like), and a team that works hard but enjoys the day.
If you’re looking to build solid foundations in baking and prep or you’re ready to swap nights for mornings, we’d love to hear from you.
