Breakfast Chef – The Dog & Fox, Wimbledon Village
Up to £15 per hour
Are you a morning person? Or, more realistically, a person who’s very good at cooking in the morning?
The Dog & Fox is looking for a Breakfast Chef to own our mornings. We’re not after someone who can reheat a hash brown with confidence. We want a cook who knows their way around fresh ingredients, takes pride in a properly poached egg, and understands that hollandaise is a commitment, not a sachet.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Running the breakfast and brunch service from prep to pass
- Cooking everything fresh: proper eggs, good bacon, real sourdough, and a hollandaise that never splits (or, if it does, you know how to bring it back)
- Prepping, ordering and keeping stock tight so nothing runs out mid-rush
- Keeping your section spotless and your food safety standards higher than the Centre Court roof
- Working with the wider kitchen team to keep standards consistent from first coffee to last orders
- Bringing ideas to the menu. If you’ve got a better way to do avocado on toast, we’re listening
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience in a fresh-food kitchen (this is essential, not a nice-to-have)
- Confidence running a busy breakfast service on your own
- Solid knowledge of food safety and allergen procedures (Level 2 Food Hygiene or above)
- Calm under pressure. Twenty covers walking in at 9:01 on a Sunday should excite you, not frighten you
- Reliability. Breakfast waits for no one, and neither do our regulars
- A sense of humour. You’ll need it, and so will we
What’s In It For You
- Up to £14.5 per hour
- Early starts, with your afternoons and evenings your own
- Staff meals (you’ll probably be cooking them, but still)
- Training and real room to grow
- A friendly team in one of the best-loved pubs in Wimbledon Village

About Us
The Dog & Fox has been part of Wimbledon Village life for a very long time. We’re a proper pub that takes its food seriously and itself slightly less so. Our breakfast regulars range from dog walkers to tennis fans to people who just need a fry-up and a quiet word. We want them all leaving happy.
If you love fresh food, early mornings don’t scare you, and you can crack an egg one-handed (or are prepared to learn), we’d love to hear from you.
Apply now. The eggs aren’t going to poach themselves.
