Description

As Breakfast Chef, you’re the calm before the storm – the early riser who sets the tone for the day. Before most guests have even stirred, you’re already at the pass, bringing energy, focus, and flavour to the kitchen. Every dish that leaves your hands carries your pride and precision, from the first perfectly poached egg to the final golden croissant.

You’re not just cooking breakfast – you’re creating a guest’s first impression of the day. Whether you're quietly leading the section during a busy morning service or lending a steady hand to a teammate, your consistency and care make you a vital part of the kitchen team.

• Staying ahead of prep and planning needs to keep the kitchen running smoothly.
• Supporting the wider kitchen team wherever needed with a hands-on, can-do attitude.

• Open – We’re proud to be a place where people can bring their whole selves to work.

• Brilliant – Brilliance means going above and beyond and celebrating the impact we make together.
• Honest – You’ll be part of a team that believes in doing the right thing.

Bring your personality, positivity and passion for people and we’ll give you the training and support to shine.
