Breakfast Chef – The Dog & Fox, Wimbledon Village
Up to £15 per hour
Are you a morning person? Or, more realistically, a person who’s very good at cooking in the morning?
The Dog & Fox is looking for a Breakfast Chef to own our mornings. We’re not after someone who can reheat a hash brown with confidence. We want a cook who knows their way around fresh ingredients, takes pride in a properly poached egg, and understands that hollandaise is a commitment, not a sachet.
What you’ll be doing
- Running the breakfast and brunch service from prep to pass
- Cooking everything fresh: proper eggs, good bacon, real sourdough, and a hollandaise that never splits (or, if it does, you know how to bring it back)
- Prepping, ordering and keeping stock tight so nothing runs out mid-rush
- Keeping your section spotless and your food safety standards higher than the Centre Court roof
- Working with the wider kitchen team to keep standards consistent from first coffee to last orders
- Bringing ideas to the menu. If you’ve got a better way to do avocado on toast, we’re listening
What we’re looking for
- Proven experience in a fresh-food kitchen (this is essential, not a nice-to-have)
- Confidence running a busy breakfast service on your own
- Solid knowledge of food safety and allergen procedures (Level 2 Food Hygiene or above)
- Calm under pressure. Twenty covers walking in at 9:01 on a Sunday should excite you, not frighten you
- Reliability. Breakfast waits for no one, and neither do our regulars
- A sense of humour. You’ll need it, and so will we
What’s in it for you
- Up to £14.5 per hour
- Early starts, with your afternoons and evenings your own
- Staff meals (you’ll probably be cooking them, but still)
- Training and real room to grow
- A friendly team in one of the best-loved pubs in Wimbledon Village
About us
The Dog & Fox has been part of Wimbledon Village life for a very long time. We’re a proper pub that takes its food seriously and itself slightly less so. Our breakfast regulars range from dog walkers to tennis fans to people who just need a fry-up and a quiet word. We want them all leaving happy.
If you love fresh food, early mornings don’t scare you, and you can crack an egg one-handed (or are prepared to learn), we’d love to hear from you.
Apply now. The eggs aren’t going to poach themselves.
