Line Chef / Chef de Partie – Daffodil, Cardiff
Fresh Food • Welsh Produce • Weekly Specials • Cardiff’s No.1 Sunday Roast
Daffodil is one of Cardiff’s most popular restaurants and gastro pubs — established five years ago and now known city‑wide for fresh cooking, local Welsh suppliers, and the number one Sunday roast in Cardiff. We’re now looking for a skilled, motivated Line Chef/CDP to join our kitchen team as we continue to grow.
About the Role
We’re a fresh‑food venue through and through, so we’re looking for a chef with strong experience in busy, quality‑led kitchens. You’ll work closely with the Head Chef and Sous Chef on daily service, weekly specials, and seasonal menu development. This is a role for a chef who wants to cook, learn, and progress.
