Great food. Daytime hours. Evenings back. If you’re an experienced cook who wants a better routine without losing the buzz of a busy kitchen, this could be the role for you. Join our friendly café team, cook fresh breakfast and lunch dishes, and have a genuine say in seasonal menus.

The role

You’ll be part of a supportive team serving fresh, consistent food that customers look forward to. This is a practical, hands-on role where you can use quality local ingredients, contribute ideas, and help keep the kitchen organised and running smoothly. We value pride in your work, reliability and a calm approach more than fine-dining formality.

What you’ll do

  • Prepare and cook fresh breakfast and lunch dishes to a consistently high standard.
  • Help shape seasonal menus using fresh, local ingredients.
  • Keep service organised, efficient and calm during busy periods.
  • Monitor stock, support ordering and reduce food waste.
  • Maintain excellent food safety, hygiene and allergen standards.
  • Work closely with the front-of-house team to deliver a smooth, friendly customer experience.

What we’re looking for

  • Experience as a chef or cook in a café, bistro or other fast-paced kitchen.
  • Confidence preparing quality food quickly, cleanly and consistently.
  • Good organisation, communication and teamwork.
  • An understanding of food hygiene and allergens; a Food Hygiene Certificate is preferred.
  • The right to work in the UK.

What’s in it for you

  • Day shifts so you can enjoy your evenings.
  • A friendly, creative workplace where your ideas are welcome.
  • A 50% staff card to use on shift and with friends and family.
  • Unlimited free hot drinks while you work.
  • Free cake on your birthday.
  • Enhanced family-friendly policies.
  • Length-of-service recognition.
  • Opportunities to develop your career and learn new skills.
