Job Description

Job Summary

Calling All Culinary Ninjas (aka Chef de Partie/Commis Chef)!
Tired of kitchens that are more Gordon Ramsay's nightmare than a well-oiled (with olive oil, naturally) machine?

Then listen up, buttercup! Our fantastic (and slightly bonkers) team at The morning star in the heart of Shaw is on the hunt for a culinary comrade - that's you, awesome Chef de Partie or Commis Chef!

Are you:

Someone who knows their bechamel from their beurre noisette (and can pronounce them without sounding like you're gargling marbles)?

A whiz with a whisk, a maestro with a mandoline, and generally someone who can make magic happen with mere mortal ingredients?

Able to handle the heat (both literally and figuratively) without spontaneously combusting into a cloud of flour?

Someone who understands that "mise en place" isn't a fancy French dance move, but the key to a smooth service?

Possessed of a cracking sense of humour and the ability to laugh off the occasional culinary catastrophe (we've all been there with the exploding souffle)?

Maybe you even tell terrible food puns? (We secretly love them.)
In return for your amazing skills and sparkling personality, we offer:

A kitchen environment that's more like a family (a slightly dysfunctional but ultimately loving one) than a military operation.

The chance to create delicious food that will make our customers do a little happy food dance in their seats.

Opportunities to learn, grow, and maybe even invent your own legendary dish (we'll name it after your pet hamster!).

Competitive salary (enough to keep you in aprons and maybe even a fancy new spatula).

A team that appreciates a good brew (tea or something stronger after a busy shift!).

The occasional staff meal that isn't just burnt toast (promise!).
Bonus points if you:

Can juggle flaming pans (not really, please don't).
Know the secret handshake of the culinary underground.
Own a particularly impressive collection of chef's hats.
So, if you're a talented and enthusiastic chef (whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting your flavour-filled journey) who's looking for a workplace that doesn't take itself too seriously, then get in touch!

Send us your CV and a brief (and preferably slightly amusing) cover letter telling us why you're the missing ingredient in our recipe for success.

Don't be a hesitant hash brown - apply today! We can't wait to meet the next star of our kitchen constellation!
