We’re looking for both Kitchen Assistants and Kitchen Porters to help keep everything running smoothly behind the scenes.

If you enjoy staying busy, working as part of a team, and playing a key role in delivering great experiences, we’d love to hear from you.

✅ Supporting the kitchen team with basic food prep when needed

👉 Every role is vital — whether you’re on prep or pot wash, you’re a key part of delivering a great guest experience.

💚 What We’re Looking For

We’re more interested in attitude than experience — we’ll teach you the rest!

You’ll be a great fit if you:
