• Up to £55,000 depending on experience
• 45-hour working week - balanced, structured rota

• A smooth, well-led kitchen where the team genuinely supports one another
• Real opportunity to shape menus, standards, and daily operations
• A professional environment where refinement, preparation, and quality come first
