Love cooking and want to turn your passion into a career? We’re looking for an enthusiastic Apprentice Chef to join our kitchen team! While some experience would be preferred, it’s not required—our apprenticeship will teach you everything you need to know. If you have basic cooking skills, a good understanding of food hygiene, a great attitude, and a hunger to learn, we’ll help you grow into a confident chef and a valuable member of the kitchen team.

• Maintain hygiene levels and safety regulations in the kitchen to help to guarantee the safety of your entire team and visitors.
• Communicate clearly with your team in order to provide high-quality meals to customers on time.
• Keep up to date with new products, menus and promotions.
