The Grill Line Chef has a key role in delivering our brunch / lunch menu quickly and to a high standard.  You will be working in an open kitchen with a direct connection to our customers. 

Helping to cook and serve fresh made menus using the best local ingredients inspired by our Eating England theme. Creating foods with an exciting balance of familiarity and innovation, comfort and health. 

Although we are currently working from a temporary kitchen we can still  knock out a great menu at pace and volume. You will be working within our  cook to order section which includes our grill and speed oven as well as our chilled assembly unit. 

This will cover breakfast and lunch servings which can get very busy and requires a calm organised work flow as well as good attention to presentation detail. If and when required you will also be asked to help with other general food preparation. 

We will be moving back into our rebuilt cafe space at the end of this summer which will have around 150 covers in a beautiful open glassed space full of plants. This will provide greater opportunities for your role and potential growth at Spade and Spoon.
