Full Description
We’ve got an exciting position for a chef to be a crucial member in our restaurant based in Wickham Bishops. You will be working alongside the team to help prepare outstanding evening meals, Sunday lunches and preparing food for the day ahead.
We get very very busy so naturally we’re looking for a candidate who isn’t too flustered in a busy kitchen and can crack on and deliver great quality food.
We’ve been on the scene for 10 years now and have gone from a little tea room that held just 18 covers to being a staple in the Maldon community and seating up to 200 covers at any one time! We’ve since opened up new sites in Wickham Bishops & Coggeshall. We’re a family run, independent business but that doesn’t mean we’re inefficient or small by any means. We’re keen to offer training and courses where necessary, and there is potential for role growth as the business evolves.
Of course you’ll be a part of our tip scheme (known as Tronc) which is shared equally between all staff. This is currently averaging between £2-£4 per hour. You would also have the opportunity to claim open shifts too should you want some more hours.
What we would require from you:
- One year of kitchen experience
- Weekend availability
- Some degree of flexibility to cover holidays
- A great level of cleanliness and hygiene
