The pastry kitchen at The Ned produces delicious desserts and pastries to be served anywhere in our hotel, members spaces, or any of our 10 restaurants.

The Ned boasts 10 restaurants each serving a unique style of cuisine from around the world, and as the Night Baker you will run service, producing gorgeous desserts to order, perfect to finish off their meal.
