• Opportunity to be creative and test new recipes to put on the menu.
• Guaranteed sit down break with a healthy and wholesome meal provided as standard.
• Free tea and coffee throughout your shift.

• A fun and supportive working environment where creativity is encouraged and work-life balance is respected.
