We put our teams first and won’t be asking you to work above your contracted hours.

What we’re looking for:

A creative and talented chef with experience to at least sous level, who is looking for a progressive and challenging role in a bustling kitchen. Your role will involve being flexible and travelling to any of our Wirral sites, leading sections and generally assisting the teams with the day-to day operation of our kitchens, so you must be able to work well as one of the team. You must also have the ability to get on with anyone and everyone as the job will take you from kitchen to kitchen working with lots of different chefs, managers and front of house teams. Our chefs create their own menus and always welcome ideas from the whole of the team. We are well known for serving the finest of fresh locally sourced produce and our regularly changing menus reflect this.

Previous experience of working in similar kitchens is essential as we know you’ll have the attitude and work ethos we’re looking for – an experienced chef who shares our love of everything foody and brings passion and flair to the kitchen.
