Chef

Our Restaurant at Downtown Grantham has for many years offered our customers quality food and beverages and a well-earned rest from their shopping.

At an exciting time of change for our Restaurant, we are seeking a Chef to bring superb talent, ideas for specials and home baking, and pride in each order to bolster our existing offer.   

Duties for this non-evening, no split-shift role include controlling and directing the food preparation process with other Cooks ensuring quality and consistency of orders, working closely with Restaurant management to determine food inventory needs and adhering to strict sanitisation and food hygiene considerations throughout your work.

Ideally, you will have experience of working in a busy kitchen, be creative, have knowledge of HACCP, be professional and reliable and have good time management, with the ability to prioritise and remain calm under pressure.

Salaries are negotiable depending on experience and capability.  Full-time hours are worked over five days a week including weekends on a rota, all within store opening times.  Flexibility is key and you should be occasionally available to work varying shift patterns, additional hours and differing days if required.  

If you feel you would be an asset to our friendly team, we would love to hear from you.

Our benefits package includes staff discount of up to 20% across all of our stores, subsidised food and drink and industry-leading rewards for long service.  And as our staff trust holds 15% of our Company’s shares, employees can also benefit from a share of the profits whenever dividends are paid to Shareholders.
