• Weddings and celebrations.

• Formal banquets.

• Afternoon teas.

• Private dining experiences.

• Buffet catering.

• Award-winning private chef events.

This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your skills, build confidence and gain experience in both large-scale event catering and high-end private dining.

• Passionate about food and hospitality.

• Eager to learn and develop their skills.

• Reliable, punctual and hardworking.

• Able to work as part of a team.

• Positive and professional in their approach.

Previous kitchen experience is welcome but not essential.
