• Ensuring high standards of food quality, presentation, hygiene, and safety
• Bringing energy, ideas, and genuine love for food to the pass every day

You'll Be a Great Fit If You:

• Have experience as a Sous Chef or strong Chef de Partie ready for the next step
• Love creating and serving food that's full of flavour, colour, and care
• Are highly organised and calm under pressure - especially during those busy brunch and lunch periods
• Thrive in a collaborative team and love contributing to a positive kitchen culture
• Are passionate about fresh ingredients, sustainability, and making each plate memorable
