The menu changes regularly and the energy’s high — it’s a brilliant place for any ambitious Commis Chef looking to sharpen their skills and grow in a supportive, high-performance team.

Responsibilities

• Support the kitchen team in all sections with preparation, cooking and plating to the required standard
• Assist in maintaining clean and orderly work areas and comply with food safety and hygiene standards
• Assist with stock issues, labelling and dating of ingredients

Qualifications

• Have your NVQ’s in catering or at least 1 year experience of working within a professional kitchen
• Have a genuine passion for food
• Want to move to a fantastic kitchen in order to learn and develop your knowledge to make you into the best chef you can be
