About COOK

COOK is a pioneering frozen food company, since 1997 we’ve been making remarkable food for your freezer, prepared by hand at our Kitchens in Kent (savoury) and Somerset (puddings) using the same ingredients and techniques you would at home.

We’re market leaders and (more importantly) our food tastes incredible. We have over 90 shops and a rapidly growing online business.

• Ensure target weights have been met (this is a legal obligation) and that all corresponding paperwork has been completed.
• Verify all paperwork is completed accurately and legibly.
• Ensure blast freezers are defrosted on each shift and freezer management is done to the required standard.
• Check that labels and sleeves are correct, prior to sleeving process.

Good to Have
