Our restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. So, no more evening service and late nights!

We would like you to have knowledge of health and safety requirements within a commercial kitchen and the ability to work on your own initiative. You are also likely to have experience of preparing great food to brand specifications.

In return, our Chef will receive:

• A generous 30% employee discount
• Discounted meals on duty
• Company pension
