The successful candidate will work as part of a close-knit kitchen team, helping to deliver consistently high standards across breakfast, brunch, lunch, afternoon tea, Sunday lunch and special dining events.

The business has a strong reputation for quality produce, homemade food and supporting local suppliers, with access to excellent ingredients including quality meats, fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables, freshly baked products and locally produced goods.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who is:

• An experienced Chef de Partie or an ambitious Commis Chef ready to progress.
• Passionate about food and committed to producing high-quality dishes.
• Confident working in a busy kitchen environment.
• Comfortable working with fresh, seasonal ingredients.
• Able to work independently while also being a strong team player.
• Organised, reliable and able to remain calm under pressure.
• Consistent in their approach to food preparation and presentation.
• Knowledgeable about food hygiene and kitchen safety.
• Keen to develop their skills and take pride in their work.
• Flexible and willing to support the wider kitchen operation when required.

What We Offer

• £31,000 per annum
• 40 hours per week
• A permanent position within an established independent food business.
• The opportunity to work with high-quality, locally sourced produce.
• A varied kitchen environment covering restaurant service, seasonal menus and special events.
• Opportunities to develop your culinary skills and contribute to new dishes and menus.
• A friendly and supportive working environment.
• The chance to work alongside an experienced kitchen team with a genuine passion for good food.

About the Kitchen

The kitchen operates within a food-led business that places a strong emphasis on quality, freshness and local produce. The restaurant serves homemade breakfast and brunch, varied lunches, seasonal specials, Sunday roasts and afternoon teas, alongside selected evening dining events.

The role would suit a chef who enjoys variety and wants to work with excellent ingredients rather than a repetitive, volume-driven kitchen.

If you are a motivated Chef de Partie looking for your next opportunity and want to be part of a team that genuinely cares about food quality, we would love to hear from you.
