Full Description

We've got an exciting position for a Sous Chef to be a crucial member in our new restaurant based in Coggeshall. Featuring day time hours with just one or two evenings a month, you will be working alongside the team to help prepare breakfast and lunch dishes and preparing food for the day ahead.

We get very very busy (especially over lunch time) so naturally we're looking for a candidate who isn't too flustered in a busy kitchen and can crack on and deliver great quality food.

We've been on the scene for 10 years now and have gone from a little tea room that held just 18 covers to being a staple in the Maldon community and seating up to 200 covers at any one time! We've since opened up new sites in Wickham Bishops & Coggeshall. We're a family run, independent business but that doesn't mean we're inefficient or small by any means. We're keen to offer training and courses where necessary, and there is potential for role growth as the business evolves.

You'll be a part of our tip scheme (known as Tronc) which is shared equally between all staff. This is currently averaging between 2.00-2.80 per hour. You would also have the opportunity to claim open shifts too should you want some more hours.

What we would require from you:

At least two years of kitchen experience Weekend availability Some degree of flexibility to cover holidays A great level of cleanliness and hygiene Able to drive to and from location
If this sounds like a bit of you then you can apply here or for more details then just get in touch, we'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.
