Our people are the heart and soul of what we do, making us stand out in a crowded food scene.

We’re opening new restaurants in fantastic neighbourhoods across the South, so due to our continued growth and expansion we’re now looking for a Commis Chef for our beautiful site in (insert location). (Insert one or two lines of site specific info here).

What’s in it for you?

We’re looking for an ambitious Commis Chef – you’ll need to have worked in a kitchen before and be calm under pressure.
