Casual Cafe Chef

You will be helping to prepare fresh food across a breakfast and lunch menu. We run specials each day which will also need to be cooked to order. You will help prepare sandwiches and other ready to eat options. 

For events, we tend to offer a wide array of freshly prepared sharing options, both hot and cold, for larger groups and events.

We will aim to share our rota ahead of time but there may be the need for cover on short notice to cover sickness or other unplanned absences.
