About Us
At Smith & Brock, we're not just in the business of fresh produce — we're in the business of people, relationships, and responsibility. As a proudly family-run company, our values sit at the heart of everything we do: quality without compromise, integrity in every interaction, and sustainability that protects the future.
Bespoke by Smith & Brock is our premium food production business, created in partnership with former Michelin-starred chef Marcus Eaves. Built on the same trusted values, Bespoke combines culinary excellence, creativity, and operational scale to deliver exceptional products and experiences.
The Role
This is not a restaurant role. Bespoke by Smith & Brock operates as a premium production kitchen, think Michelin-level standards applied to large-scale food production, not covers and service. We're looking for a Senior Production Chef who understands the discipline, precision, and consistency that high-volume premium production demands, and who is ready to bring genuine craft to a growing and ambitious business.
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.
You'll work closely with the Bespoke Director and culinary team to maintain exceptional standards across production, contribute to recipe development and product innovation, and play a key role in developing the junior team around you.
What You'll Be Doing
- Leading day-to-day production in the kitchen to consistently high standards of quality and presentation
- Delivering large-scale food production with the precision and care of a premium culinary environment
- Supporting menu development, recipe testing, and ongoing product innovation
- Training, mentoring, and developing junior kitchen team members
- Maintaining rigorous food safety, hygiene, and health & safety standards at all times
- Contributing to efficient kitchen systems, workflows, and production planning
- Being a calm, positive, and solutions-focused presence as the business continues to grow
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in a production kitchen, catering, or large-scale culinary environment — restaurant experience is valued, but an understanding of production is essential
- A genuine passion for food quality, premium ingredients, and culinary craft
- Strong organisational skills with excellent attention to detail and an eye for consistency
- A natural team player who takes pride in developing others
- Calm under pressure, adaptable, and hands-on
- Excited by the opportunity to build something ambitious alongside a Michelin-starred chef
