That's right, we're looking for a talented chef who loves cooking great food and wants to be part of a creative bunch of foodies looking to make a real difference in the workplace catering scene.

Here's the real kicker...

You'll currently either be at a Senior Sous Chef level looking to make your first step towards running your own brigade or you'll be an existing Head Chef, who wants a new challenge and the freedom to create some amazing food whilst making a name for themselves. Experience in workplace catering would be an advantage but is not essential.

In terms of scope of the role, your team will consist of 4-6 chefs and you'll be kept busy in a building occupied by up to 2000 members of staff. Daily we'll be delivering a hot and cold breakfast and lunch offer, corporate hospitality, event catering with the opportunity for some fine dining.
