We have a beautiful light-filled cafe on Lower Clapton Road, 10 minutes walk from Hackney Central. Our menu is 100% vegetarian and we’re moving towards going fully vegan in the coming months (as a cafe our coffee trade is the main thing holding us back!).
We are looking for a part-time or full-time chef to come onboard with a passion for cooking delicious plant-based food. We have a really lovely team so of course looking for someone who will enjoy being part of that buzzing cafe culture!
This position would be working mainly daytime shifts with the opportunity of doing more hours in the evenings if wanted.
We take pride in making everything from scratch and keep our dishes innovative and fresh, you will be managing the kitchen when on duty and working with the owner to ensure that the food is always outstanding, the menu is always fresh and seasonal and every dish is beautifully presented.
This is a great opportunity for a self-motivated, hard-working and ambitious chef to gain experience and progress while growing with us.
Creativity is a MUST. We are not looking for someone to just come in and do what is told of them. For the right person this should be a dream job, we would welcome and promote you being creative and contributing to designing the menu, and having the freedom to create daily specials.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Ensuring high standards of food preparation are upheld
• Keeping your section clean and organised
• Detailed knowledge of seasonal food
• Following the direction of the senior team, while being inventive - there is space for you to bring new ides, make decisions and changes to our menu.
- Familiarity with a plant-based vegetarian/ vegan menu would be a large bonus but not essential for the right person
- Punctual, team player
THE SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE:
• Will have at least 5 years experience
• Enjoy working in a very busy environment and in front of clients
• Builds effective and constructive relationships, please apply only if you are a team player, we are a small team and love to have a friendly atmosphere where everyone feels welcome
