  • Experience with fresh food and menu development
  • Ability to work in a fast paced kitchen


The salary offered is £28,500 per annum, averaging 37 hours per week on a 5 over 7 basis.


The majority of shifts will fall between Monday to Friday, with no split shifts. Occasional weekend work may be needed, and flexibility is essential to ensure the smooth day to day running of the kitchen.


Additional hours may be required on occasion to meet business demand. Where overtime occurs, time off at a later date will be granted when appropriate or otherwise paid.

  • Generous annual leave of 38 days including 8 statutory public holidays
