Full job description

Full-time · Starting August 2026 · Edinburgh

We’re looking for a well-organised, curious and experienced Pastry Lead to join us at Freschen — a new café, brunch spot, and wine bar opening in Edinburgh in September 2026. Freschen brings together Austrian alpine influence and a Scottish setting, with a focus on seasonal food, house-made baking, and a thoughtful approach that feels familiar, but slightly different.

Pastry is a big part of what we do — from cakes to baked goods — all made in-house with care and attention to detail. Alongside daily café service, Freschen will also host private events and dinners, with pastry supporting both regular service and occasional event-based menus.

This role involves running the pastry section day to day, including prep, baking, and service. You’ll be joining from the beginning, helping to shape how the section works, keeping things organised, and building a steady, consistent way of working alongside the wider kitchen team.

What you’ll do

Running and taking ownership of the pastry section
Preparing cakes and baked goods for daily service
Supporting with menu development, custom orders, and recipe refinement
Maintaining a clean, organised, and well-managed section
Working closely with the kitchen team during prep and service
Supporting pastry preparation for private events and special dinners
Managing stock, deliveries, and ordering within the section
Ensuring that all food safety and health & safety standards are upheld

What we’re looking for

Previous experience in a bakery or pastry environment, ideally including laminated doughs or viennoiserie
Good organisation and time management
Ability to work independently and as part of a team
Consistent, detail-focused approach to work
Comfortable working in a busy service environment

What’s in it for you?

Training in Austrian-style cakes, bakes, and pastry methods
Staff meals on shift
Unlimited coffee
Staff discount
Staff parties and team socials
Opportunity to be part of a new opening and to grow with the business
A supportive, small team environment

This is a full-time role, expected to be around 40 hours per week, with some flexibility required around opening, events, and busy periods.

Salary: £34,000–£38,000 per year, depending on experience. Higher salary may be considered.

If this sounds like something you’d like to be part of, please email [email protected] with your CV and a short cover letter.

We look forward to hearing from you.
