Line Chef - Prezzo Italian

Put Your Heart Into It

£12.50 - £13 per hour, depending on experience and skill level - plus tronc & perks!

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 a safe, clean, and well‑organised kitchen 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.
