We're looking for a mix of Chefs and Cooks to join our kitchen and events team. You might love leading an event, styling the perfect grazing table, getting stuck into prep or picking up great weekend shifts. Whatever your strength, you care about good food, the details and doing things well.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re open to different experience levels, strengths and availability — what matters is a love of good food, a strong eye for detail and genuine care in what you do.
