We are looking for someone who is comfortable working in a busy, professional kitchen and who takes pride in delivering consistent quality as part of a team.

What we are looking for

• Ability to work efficiently and remain organised under pressure
• A reliable, flexible and team‑oriented approach

This position requires broader kitchen and food production experience beyond breakfast preparation, and candidates whose professional experience has primarily been limited to breakfast service may therefore not have the required background for the role.
