About us:

We serve fresh, seasonal, locally sourced and sustainable produce — free-range and organic meats, organic eggs, and menus catering to gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, vegan and paleo diets. Alongside our daily breakfast and lunch service we run a signature Moroccan High Tea and a busy events and private-function kitchen.
We are seeking an experienced, full-time Chef to join our kitchen team and help deliver the fresh, seasonal food our regulars expect in a high-volume, produce-driven cafe.

- Follow and help maintain food safety, hygiene and HACCP standards, keeping a clean, secure kitchen.
- Assist with stock control, ordering, supplier liaison and wastage/margin control.
- Prepare dietary-specific options (GF, DF, vegetarian, vegan, paleo) to our menu specifications.
- Help train and supervise junior kitchen staff and support recruitment as needed.
- Contribute to catering for weddings, private events and functions, including the Moroccan High Tea service.
