What you need

Some experience as a line chef or chef de partie would be a bonus, but it isn’t essential. It’s about what you bring as a person. If you can offer the following, we want to hear from you.

• A successful background working in a fast-paced kitchen, perhaps as a back griller, front griller, or part of a kitchen team.
• Knowledge of kitchen health and safety as well as food and hygiene standards.
• Enthusiasm for and experience of coaching others.
• A genuine passion for delivering an amazing guest experience through the meals we serve.

What will I do as a Grill Chef?

• Work with the Head Chef to become an expert on our menus and specifications.
• Remain calm under pressure to make sure every main meal is prepared safely, cooked perfectly, and presented irresistibly to guests.
• Communicate with, care for, and support your colleagues in the kitchen, on the restaurant floor, in the bar, and the management team.
• Maintain a spotless kitchen in line with health and safety and food and hygiene standards.
