Daytime Chef

THE ROLE We're looking for a chef who wants to be busy. Our Waterside Café does serious lunchtime volume up to 200 covers on our peak days and we need someone who thrives on a full pass, not someone winding down from it.

You'll work alongside our Head Chef, and Sous Chef (promoted from our own apprenticeship scheme) in a young, ambitious kitchen that's grown a lot in the last few years and isn't done yet. This is a genuine opportunity to develop Our sous chef started as our apprentice and is now promoted, and we back people who want to go further.

WHAT YOU'LL BE COOKING Café/pub classics and main meals Light bites Daily and weekly specials you'll have real input, not just a menu to follow Bonus if you've got a strong hand for cakes, scones and seasonal bakes we're always keen to build that side of the offer.

HOURS THAT ACTUALLY WORK 5 days per week, daytime only Weekends are our busiest time, so some weekend shifts are part of the rota (typically 12 weekend days off per month) Evenings are very rare we run 23 evening functions a year, and you'd know well in advance WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU Solid chef/cook experience in a busy kitchen (pub, café, restaurant or similar) You're quick, calm and accurate under pressure a full pass doesn't rattle you You care about consistency and getting plates out right, not just fast A team player who communicates well with front of house A driving licence (we're rural no reliable public transport to site) TPBN1_UKCT
