Two part-time positions, 3-4 days/week including weekends
*Barista / FOH
*Kitchen assistant
We are a chocolate company specialising in drinking chocolate, made from organic, single-origin chocolate shavings and in a variety of natural flavours. At our chocolate cafe we serve our hot chocolates alongside great coffee, cakes and a vegetarian and vegan chocolate-themed menu. We also produce and dispatch our wholesale drinking chocolate to coffee shops and retailers from the same premises.
Barista 3 days per week (inc Saturday and Sun)
We are looking for a friendly barista who will get to know our regulars, be passionate about chocolate, coffee, food or are interested in learning more, and can share this enthusiasm with our customers.
Your role will be primarily front of house, making coffees and hot chocolates, preparing and serving food and cleaning. You will also be required to assist with packaging and dispatch to our wholesale customers.
Service in the Chocolate House changes pace depending on the day of the week, so be prepared for quieter periods on weekdays, when cleaning jobs and packaging get slotted in, and a fast-paced whirlwind at the weekend, keeping track of orders to go out and going up and downstairs multiple times.
