Hello!
We're looking for a chef to work in a new kitchen Five March are opening in Brown's of Leith.
We're looking to open in the middle of July in anticipation of a very busy Fringe period, expect high volumes in a beautiful space, right on the dock in Leith Harbour. Brown's of Leith is a growing project and currently homes the Michelin starred Timberyard's 'Haze' project, Civerinos pizza and Shrimpwreck so we'll be keeping good company of a high level. Each kitchen works independently of one another in their own separate space, contributing to an incredible ambiance and fast paced room.
The menu is Asian inspired, any experience with this style of food is wonderful but not essential.
Current opening hours are Thursday - Sunday 12-10, with the anticipation of adding Wednesdays in the near future. We'd always recommend a 4 day working week to keep the work/life balance a little better but for opening weeks we'd hope you'd be willing to work 5 days (within your contracted hours) until we all find out feet!
The contract is for 40-45 hours a week.
The planned growth of Browns over the next few years offers huge opportunity to grow with us as the project would have the chance to take on new angles. We hope to build a solid core team that can move up with us as the project develops - for the right people this can be a gret opportunity.
