The Job

We want a pastry chef to dream up pastries, sweets and desserts from scratch — no existing menu, no "this is how we've always done it," just your ideas and a kitchen to make them real.

Who We Are

We're a growing hospitality group a with multiple concepts under one roof — including an Italian dessert bar Now we want to go further: new pastries, current sweets, recent desserts, built by someone who actually wants to invent things instead of replicate them.

What You'll Actually Do
Start with a blank page — develop original pastries, sweets and desserts, no inherited recipes to copy
Bring genuinely new ideas and get them from concept to counter
Experiment, taste, refine, repeat — we want R&D; energy, not just production energy
Take charge of the process end to end: recipe, costing, presentation, the lot




Work at a responsible pace — this is a real kitchen with real volume, not a hobby bench

Who We're Looking For
Creative — you don't wait for a brief, you bring one
Ambitious — you want to build something, not maintain something
Hard-working — early starts, high standards, no shortcuts
A leader — you want ownership of your section and your ideas
Funny is a bonus — we take the pastry seriously, not ourselves

What You Won't Be Doing

Following someone else's menu. That's the whole point.
