Are you ready to put your heart into every dish you create? At Prezzo Italian, we’re looking for a talented Chef who thrives in a vibrant environment, where every plate is crafted with passion, precision, and pride. Join us and be part of a team that embodies HEART culture, bringing people together with memorable food experiences.

With our structured training and supportive team environment, you’ll grow your skills step by step - starting with one section as a Chef 1, building confidence across two as a Chef 2, and mastering all three to become a Chef 3. At every stage, you’ll be guided, encouraged, and celebrated as you put your heart into every dish and every shift.

What You'll Do:

• Deliver exceptional dishes that make every guest feel special, as part of our Hospitality Magic ethos.
• Take full responsibility for your creations, ensuring each plate meets our high standards of excellence.
• Help keep our kitchen safe, clean, and well‑organised by following Prezzo Italian’s food safety and hygiene standards, including HACCP policies.
• Be an active participant in the local scene, connecting with guests and creating lasting relationships.
• Support stock control by sticking to portion guidelines and helping reduce waste. You’ll also make sure all kitchen paperwork—like temperature checks and cleaning records— is completed accurately and on time, so every dish is served with pride and confidence.
• Continuously challenge yourself to improve, accept feedback, and show resilience in a fast‑paced kitchen.
• Work with your teammates, support one another, and celebrate team achievements.

What We're Looking For:

• A passion for cooking and a love for creating memorable dining experiences.
• Experience in a similar role, with a strong commitment to quality and detail.
• A positive attitude and the ability to thrive in a team‑oriented environment.
• Flexibility with work hours, including weekends and bank holidays.

Why Join Prezzo Italian?

• Access structured training and clear career pathways to advance your skills and career.
• Enjoy competitive pay, tronc/tips, benefits, and recognition for your dedication and hard work.
• Flexible shifts and a supportive environment to help you balance work with personal life.
• Perks that matter—like free meals on shift, big discounts for you and your loved ones, your birthday off, wellbeing support, and access to exclusive hospitality rewards.
• Become part of a team‑first business where you’re seen, heard and valued every day.
