We are 1 The Island Quarter, an ambitious and exciting real estate development of a 36 acre freehold site in the heart of Nottingham. We are a new & dynamic hospitality team charged with creating 1 The Island Quarter to be a sustainable business, transforming it into a cultural hub, a new and exciting destination for experiencing food, arts, music, sporting events and other community interests. The first phase consists of 2 restaurants - Binks Yard and Cleaver & Wake, an outside live events space with a bandstand and an internal venue for private functions.
Our guest-centric team love what they do, taking pride in always delivering value and consistency. They are actively generous in going the extra mile to create great memories for our guests, aiming to deliver genuine, exceptional service that is inclusive, authentic and fun.
The kitchen is your natural habitat – you enjoy seeing a team thrive during service and hearing the guest compliments coming back through. Not only will you be supporting the Head Chef with designing the menu, using ingredients that tantalise and excite, but you’ll be there with your team making these dishes. A natural leader, you will be supporting the Head Chef whilst developing the talent below you, allowing them to gain the knowledge needed to become the next Sous Chef. You make sure that all team members have a development plan.
Managing food margins and wastage is second nature to you, hitting labour margins whilst delivering profit is something you have done in previous roles and will bring to this one. A 5* food hygiene rating is your bread and butter; you manage your team to be audit ready at all times, and food safety is paramount – you put your guests as your priority.
Benefits Of Working At The Island Quarter
- A culture where you’re valued, supported and inspired to be at your best
- Generous holiday package
- Discounted food and drink
- Birthday & work anniversary recognition
