Medlock Square
Medlock Square marks a bold new chapter in the evolution of the Etihad Campus — a vibrant, year-round destination for culture, leisure and entertainment, set alongside two global icons: the Etihad Stadium, home of Manchester City Football Club, and the landmark Co-op Live arena.
Named after the River Medlock that runs beneath the site, the development celebrates Manchester’s industrial heritage while shaping its next era of city-defining experiences. Manchester is known worldwide for its sport, music and entertainment — and Medlock Square will build on that legacy, creating a landmark home for exceptional shared moments and elevating the city’s position as one of Europe’s most dynamic, fast-growing destinations.
At the heart of this new district will be an extraordinary food and beverage offer: from relaxed coffee houses and all-day dining to flagship restaurants and premium culinary experiences. Designed to serve both everyday visitors and major event audiences, Medlock Square will deliver high-quality hospitality all week long and across the events calendar.
About The Role
As Breakfast Chef, you’ll take ownership of the breakfast service, delivering high-quality dishes consistently and efficiently in a fast-paced environment. This role is key to setting the tone for the guest experience, ensuring a smooth, organised and high-standard service for hotel guests each morning. You’ll work closely with the wider kitchen team to maintain standards, manage prep, and ensure readiness for both breakfast and transition into all-day service.
