We are seeking an experienced Pizza Chef whose practical skills, kitchen experience and professional background can be clearly demonstrated. This is an opportunity for a chef who takes pride in their craft and can bring proven capability to a busy, quality-focused kitchen.

The role combines responsibility for the pizza section with broad main kitchen duties, making it ideal for a well-rounded chef rather than someone focused solely on pizza production.

Working with wood-fired ovens and an produce-driven menu, you will have the opportunity to contribute to both daily kitchen operations and future menu development. The right person will be confident working independently, supporting the wider kitchen team and maintaining consistent standards through busy services.

Your experience will be assessed on the strength of your practical skills, work history and ability to perform the role to a professional standard.
