Job description

Hello York

Kitchen Porter

Are you the unsung hero of hospitality? The silent engine of the kitchen? The person who knows that a spotless prep area is just as important as a perfectly cooked steak?

Pearly Cow is an independent collection of grill restaurants in York, Margate and Brighton, where we serve up the most indulgent cuts of meat and the freshest fish in gorgeous settings, where you’ll feel right at home. Our kitchen is fast-paced, passionate, and just a little bit fiery (in the best way).

Please note this is a part time role for 20 hours per week.

Responsibilities

• Keep the kitchen sparkling, the pots spotless, and the chefs smiling.
• Help with basic food prep when needed — we’ll teach you the tricks!
• Manage deliveries and store ingredients like a logistics ninja.
• Make sure hygiene standards are sky‑high (and stay that way).
• Be the backbone of the brigade — reliable, fast, and always one step ahead.

Qualifications

• Hardworking, dependable, and not afraid of a little steam.
• A team player with a great attitude and a sense of humour.
• Quick on your feet and happy to get stuck in.
• Looking for a role where you’re valued and respected.

Benefits

• Work in a stylish, intimate restaurant that feels more like a home than a collection of restaurants.
• Be part of a small, close‑knit team where your ideas matter.
• Competitive pay, and plenty of guest‑powered stories.
• An extra holiday day for your birthday.
• No split shifts.
• All breaks are paid.
• Our team have their own team room — with their own pantry full of food to use whenever they like. Grab a snack! Plus, get a free meal on shift.
• You can stay/dine with your family and friends in any of our hotels/restaurants/spas at a great discount.

If you’re ready to be the heartbeat of our kitchen and keep things spotless while the chefs make magic, apply now. You bring the elbow grease — we’ll bring the gratitude.
