Job Details

You love real cooking. We love real cooking. Customers love real cooking. It's a no‑brainer, so you wonder why so many other places don't do it. We do it, and you'll be doing it with us - fresh, customer‑led, and with high‑quality ingredients.

You will be part of a dedicated, supportive team, working from our flexible all‑day menu to give people food that’ll make their day. It will be your responsibility to make each dish to spec, in a clean and safe kitchen, and to follow the lead of your Head Chef to ensure all prep and par is completed for each shift. You'll help every customer leave happy – which they tend to do, thanks to your great food.

• Tips shared equally across the team, based on hours worked
• Paid breaks
• Staff food on every shift, regardless of hours worked
• 50% off food and drinks (including alcohol) from day one at all three of our brands – Lounge, Cosy Club and Brightside
• 28 days holiday (inclusive of Bank Holidays) pro rata
• Competitions and incentives (like jetting off on an all‑expenses‑paid trip with one of our suppliers)
• Christmas and Boxing Day off!
• The best staff party – Loungefest
• Emotional and practical support via the Licensed Trade Charity
• Pay power with Wagestream
• Company pension scheme
• Long service awards
• Great opportunity for personal development and career progression in a fast‑growing business

What you’ll bring

• You may already have some kitchen experience as either a Kitchen Porter/Kitchen Assistant/Commis Chef, or this might be something brand new to you.
• Driven and relentless, with a positive can‑do attitude.
• Good communication skills and a team player.
• Self‑motivated to work at pace, with limited supervision.
• Strong knowledge of best practice when it comes to allergens, kitchen essentials and food safety.
• Ready to make an impact in a fast‑paced environment.
