About The Role
Love working with fresh produce and cooking to order—without the late nights? This could be the role you’ve been waiting for.
Due to the continued success of our Sidings First Class café carriage, we’re looking for an enthusiastic Chef to join our growing team.
Sidings offers a vibrant à la carte brunch experience, serving fresh, high-quality dishes between 9am and 4pm, seven days a week. With a strong focus on seasonal ingredients—including produce from our own kitchen garden—you’ll have the opportunity to cook with quality ingredients and play a key role in delivering a consistently excellent experience.
This role offers something increasingly rare in hospitality, a genuine focus on work-life balance alongside high-quality food.
- Primarily daytime hours (9am–4pm service).
- No regular late nights (apart from occasional events).
- Flexible rotas with two days off per week.
- Work with fresh, seasonal produce, including our own kitchen garden.
- Competitive salary, benefits, and a share of gratuities.
You’ll be a key part of the kitchen team, helping to deliver high-quality, cooked-to-order dishes in a fast-paced but supportive environment.
You Will
- Prepare and cook dishes fresh to order during service.
- Set up and maintain your section to a high standard.
- Ensure your station is well-stocked and organised.
- Manage stock and minimise waste.
- Maintain excellent food hygiene and safety standards.
- Work collaboratively with the wider team to deliver a smooth service.
