Experienced Chef Wanted – Busy, Ever-Growing Café
We're a small, buzzing café on the lookout for an experienced Chef to join our kitchen team. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves breakfast and brunch cooking, thrives under pressure, and can confidently run a kitchen solo when needed.
About the Role
- Hours: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, including weekends
- Kitchen: Small, fast-paced, and growing — every day brings a full house
- Menu: Compact but high-quality, breakfast and brunch focused
What You'll Be Cooking
You must be confident and competent cooking:
- Eggs Benedict
- Pancakes
- French Toast
- English Breakfasts
- Vegetarian Breakfasts
- Burgers
- Wraps and more..
What We're Looking For
- Solid kitchen experience — you know your way around a busy service
- Able to work under pressure and keep calm during a rush
- Able to run and manage the kitchen alone when required
- Confident creating and developing new menu items and seasonal specials
- A positive, can-do attitude and a team player mentality
- Eager to learn new dishes and techniques
- Strong understanding of food safety and hygiene practices
- Comfortable handling the legal and admin side of running a kitchen (food safety records, HACCP paperwork, allergen documentation, etc.)
- Must hold relevant certificates (e.g. Food Hygiene & Safety Level 2/3, allergen awareness)
Important
Please only apply if you have genuine experience running a kitchen independently — including the operational, legal, and hygiene responsibilities that come with it. This role suits someone ready to take ownership, not just follow instructions.
Interested? Apply now with your CV and a short note on your experience running a kitchen.
Pay: From £15.00 per hour
Work Location: In person
