About Us

At Smith & Brock, we're not just in the business of fresh produce — we're in the business of people, relationships, and responsibility. As a proudly family-run company, our values sit at the heart of everything we do: quality without compromise, integrity in every interaction, and sustainability that protects the future.

Bespoke by Smith & Brock is our premium food production business, created in partnership with former Michelin-starred chef Marcus Eaves. Built on the same trusted values, Bespoke combines culinary excellence, creativity, and operational scale to deliver exceptional products and experiences.

The role

This is not a restaurant role. Bespoke by Smith & Brock operates as a premium production kitchen, think Michelin-level standards applied to large-scale food production, not covers and service. We're looking for a Senior Production Chef who understands the discipline, precision, and consistency that high-volume premium production demands, and who is ready to bring genuine craft to a growing and ambitious business. You'll work closely with the Bespoke Director and culinary team to maintain exceptional standards across production, contribute to recipe development and product innovation, and play a key role in developing the junior team around you.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Leading day-to-day production in the kitchen to consistently high standards of quality and presentation
  • Delivering large-scale food production with the precision and care of a premium culinary environment
  • Supporting menu development, recipe testing, and ongoing product innovation
  • Training, mentoring, and developing junior kitchen team members
  • Maintaining rigorous food safety, hygiene, and health & safety standards at all times
  • Contributing to efficient kitchen systems, workflows, and production planning
  • Being a calm, positive, and solutions-focused presence as the business continues to grow

What We're Looking For

  • Proven experience in a production kitchen, catering, or large-scale culinary environment — restaurant experience is valued, but an understanding of production is essential
  • A genuine passion for food quality, premium ingredients, and culinary craft
  • Strong organisational skills with excellent attention to detail and an eye for consistency
  • A natural team player who takes pride in developing othersCalm under pressure, adaptable, and hands‑on
  • Excited by the opportunity to build something ambitious alongside a Michelin‑starred chef

What's In It For You

  • Monday to Friday, 8:00am - 5:00pm, weekends off, genuinely (occasionally working)
  • One of the rarest schedules in the chef world no evenings, no service, no split shifts
  • Weekly grocery shop including fresh fruit and vegetables at cost price
  • Earned wage access, get paid early before payday
  • The opportunity to work alongside Michelin-starred chef Marcus Eaves
  • A supportive, values-driven, family‑run company culture with real room to grow
