What does a typical day as Breakfast Chef look like

You will get in and start preparing and cooking for the breakfast service - this could be cooking off certain breakfast ingredients and keeping them hot in preparation for the orders you will get. Breakfast service starts at 7am on weekdays so you have an hour to prep before guests start coming in. Our breakfasts are high quality prepared to order and all food is plated by you in the kitchen (no chafing dishes).

The friendly breakfast front of house team will take orders and deliver food and the Kitchen porter will wash up plates pots and pans so it is just the cooking that you would need to concentrate on.

Once breakfast service has finished youll be involved in prep ready for lunch service or cooking for our range of events that we hold at the Square. The food style is fine dining seasonal food as such we are looking for a certain level of skill with fresh ingredients and high-quality food ideally at Chef de Partie level.
