About Us

Wineism is a wine bar with a small but thoughtful menu designed to pair perfectly with our curated wine list. We pride ourselves on delivering a relaxed yet professional experience, where every detail, from the way a dish is plated to how a glass is poured, matters. Our kitchen focuses on simple, seasonal ingredients prepared with care, ensuring each plate complements the wine in front of it.

We’re a small, tight-knit team that values collaboration, creativity, and genuine hospitality. There are no egos in our kitchen, just a shared commitment to quality, consistency, and making sure our guests feel welcomed and looked after. At Wineism, we work hard, enjoy what we do, and believe that great food and wine should be fun, approachable, and memorable.

About the Role

As a BOH/Kitchen Hand at Wineism, you’ll play a key role in delivering fresh, high-quality dishes that complement our wine-focused menu. Working closely with our Venue Chef, you’ll assist with preparation, plating, and maintaining a clean, organised, and effective kitchen, all while upholding the highest food safety standards.

This hands-on role requires someone confident enough to run the kitchen solo during quieter shifts or when the chef is away. You’ll handle general kitchen operations, from cleaning and dishwashing to light cooking and service support, ensuring every plate meets our quality and presentation standards. We value creative input, and you’ll have opportunities to contribute ideas for menu improvements and seasonal changes.

and present dishes to a high standard

- Adapt dishes to suit dietary requirements where needed

- Check ingredient freshness and ensure proper storage and rotation

Health & Safety Compliance:

What We’re Looking For:

- Current food safety certificate (or willingness to obtain)

- Ability to work weekends and solo kitchen shifts when required

- Strong organisational skills and attention to detail

- Calm, efficient, and positive under pressure
- A team player who’s also confident working independently

The Perks:

- 15 hours per week to start, with potential to increase

- No late nights
- A friendly, professional team environment

If you’re ready to take ownership in the kitchen and be part of a team that values quality and collaboration, we’d love to hear from you.
