We are looking for an experienced, competent and reliable Sous Chef to join our small team. A can-do, positive and hardworking attitude is a must.
We’re looking for someone with creative drive who ideally has experience in managing a small (or large!) kitchen before. Our cooking has a wide range of influences; this person might have cooked in a variety of places or have a keen interest in different cuisines.
You’ll be working alongside our chef/owner, chef/baker and our very competent KP. You’ll be expected to place orders, create new dishes weekly, and manage rotating said new dishes on to the menu.

Perks of the job include; no evenings and sociable hours (shifts finish 4pm and start at 730am at the earliest). Sunday & Monday off, every week. Staff food is different every day and uses the same amazing produce that is on our menu.
