You'll collaborate closely with our Executive Chef to enhance our food offering and menus; with a core focus on farm-to-plate, seasonality of produce, and the quality of locally sourced ingredients.

Understanding of showcasing seasonal, fresh and local produce
Understanding of legal regulations and practices within a commercial kitchen
Flexibility and an ability to work weekends
