Role Details

Reporting to: Kitchen Manager

Location: Fenwick, Newcastle

Contract: Fixed-Term (2 years), Full-Time or Part-Time considered

Start date: October 2026

Hours: 40 hours per week

Salary: £27,000–£29,000 p.a. + tips

Key Responsibilities

•      Prepare and cook all dishes to the provided recipes and plating guides — consistency and presentation are non-negotiable.

•      Own your station: arrive prepped, stay organised, and maintain quality throughout every service.

•      Work at pace during busy services without allowing standards to slip.

•      Support the Kitchen Manager in training and guiding commis chefs on the team.

•      Lead the kitchen confidently in the Kitchen Manager's absence, maintaining standards and keeping service running smoothly.

•      Maintain a clean, organised, and safe kitchen environment at all times.

•      Follow all HACCP procedures, allergen controls, and food safety standards without exception.

•      Assist with stock rotation, prep, and daily mise en place as required.

•      Flag any equipment issues, stock shortages, or food safety concerns to the Kitchen Manager promptly.

What We're Looking For

•      Solid experience as a Chef de Partie or strong Commis Chef ready to step up, ideally with a background in a fast-paced, high-volume kitchen — burger, fried chicken, or similar concept experience is a real advantage.

•      Comfortable working at pace under pressure — you thrive in a busy service, not just cope with it.

•      A genuine commitment to consistency: you understand that replicating a dish perfectly every time is a skill in itself.

•      Food hygiene certificate (Level 2 minimum) required, or willingness to obtain before starting.

•      A reliable team player who takes ownership of their station and supports those around them.
