The role
Are you looking for a role where you can showcase your skills in a creative, multi-outlet environment? Would you enjoy varied hours, no split shifts and having your Sundays free? Do you thrive in a kitchen that champions fresh ingredients, collaboration and a positive team culture?

You'll join a supportive and collaborative kitchen team where colleagues take pride in sharing knowledge, working together, and delivering exceptional food experiences.
Working under the guidance of the Executive Head Chef, you will prepare, bake and create food from scratch using fresh, locally sourced, ingredients. You'll have the opportunity to prepare food for our cafes, Rooftop Restaurant, Riverside Terrace and support with food for press nights, private events, and Co-Artistic Director's annual dinner.
What you'll do
Reporting to the Executive Head Chef, key areas of responsibility include:
- Collaborating with the team to shape an outstanding food offer across multiple venues.
- Preparing, cooking, and presenting dishes using agreed ingredients and using specs.
- Assisting the Senior Chefs in developing new dishes and menus, assisting with any menu changes and food tastings.
- Monitoring portion control and wastage to maintain profit margins.
- Ensuring full compliance with all food safety, hygiene, and legislative regulations.
How you'll work
This is a variable hours position based in Stratford-upon-Avon. The usual working hours are 9am - 7pm although the role will include some evening and weekend work with very few late finishes and currently no Sunday working.
