The Opportunity
We’re recruiting across our entire kitchen team, from Kitchen Porters and Dishwashers through to Commis Chefs and Chefs de Partie.
This isn’t a fine dining kitchen, and it’s not a high-volume chain operation. We’re creating a daytime destination centred around great ingredients, excellent baking, quality brunch and lunch dishes, and a team that enjoys working together.
Whether your strengths lie in preparation, service, organisation or keeping everything spotless and running smoothly, every role in our kitchen matters.
You’ll have the opportunity to help shape standards, contribute ideas and become part of a business that’s being built carefully and deliberately, with quality and people at its centre.
The Role
Depending on your experience and position, responsibilities may include:
- Preparing ingredients and supporting food production
- Cooking and plating dishes to consistently high standards
- Assisting with bakery and pastry preparation
- Maintaining exceptional cleanliness and food hygiene standards
- Washing dishes, equipment and keeping service areas organised
- Receiving and storing deliveries correctly
- Supporting colleagues across all areas of the kitchen
- Taking pride in presentation, organisation and attention to detail
- Helping create a positive, professional and enjoyable working environment
About You
You’ll ideally have:
- Previous experience in a kitchen, bakery or hospitality environment
- A positive attitude and willingness to learn
- High standards and great attention to detail
- Reliability and a strong work ethic
- The ability to work calmly and efficiently as part of a team
- Pride in doing things properly, even when nobody is watching
Most importantly, we’re looking for good people. People who care about quality, enjoy working as part of a team and want to help build something from the ground up.

- Company pension scheme
- Full and part-time opportunities available
