We’re looking for a passionate and talented Senior CDP or Junior Sous Chef to join our friendly but professional team in our award-winning restaurant. This isn’t your typical garden centre café — we’re a thriving fresh-food kitchen with a real love for flavour, creativity, and quality.

• Confident running a section and stepping up when senior chefs are away
• Competent computer skills for ordering and using Excel/Word
• A strong team player with a professional but positive attitude
