What you’ll be doing?

• The ability to lead a section and chefs in ensuring food is prepped and ready for service – great timekeeping and organisational skills are key;
• Your potential, your commitment, and your ability to work under pressure alongside being an excellent team player, is every bit as important to us as your knife-handling skills.
