Embraces our open kitchen environment, bringing energy, precision, and visible passion to each service.

Works well with others: supporting teammates, stepping in where needed, and helping to maintain smooth, thoughtful service.
Adapts to changing menus and availability of produce — so flexibility and resourcefulness matter.
Is punctual, reliable, and committed; keen to grow in skill and responsibility.

Desirable Experience & Skills:

At least 1 year previous kitchen experience preferred
Strong knowledge of classical and modern cooking techniques, and dish presentation
Awareness (or curiosity) for local suppliers, seasonal produce, and short supply chains (e.g. Goddards of Norfolk, Staithe Smokehouse — those sorts of partnerships we use)
