• Help control food waste and maintain an organised kitchen.

• Support and encourage junior members of the kitchen team.

About You

We're looking for someone who is passionate about cooking, takes pride in their work and wants to continue developing their skills.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Previous experience as a Chef de Partie or be an ambitious Commis Chef ready to progress.

• A genuine passion for fresh food and seasonal ingredients.

• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage your own section.

• The ability to remain calm and work efficiently under pressure.

• Strong attention to detail and pride in presentation.

• A positive attitude and excellent teamwork skills.

• A willingness to learn, develop and contribute ideas.

• Flexibility to work across breakfast, lunch and dinner services.
