You love food. And you’re really good at creating great fresh food for customers to enjoy. What you probably don’t enjoy is working late at night or split shifts.

As a Notcutts Chef you’ll balance your passion for food with the rest of your life.

Our restaurants are at the heart of our garden centres and an important reason for customers to visit us. Your attention to detail and organisation will mean excellent customer service is as important to you as the ingredients on your menu.

We’re looking for a Chef to join the busy kitchen team in our Garden Centre Restaurant. Our restaurant is bright modern and airy, our kitchen is well equipped with everything a great chef needs to provide fantastic dishes to specification. Our restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea. So, no more evening service and late nights!

We would like you to have experience of working in a predominately fresh food kitchen, along with a knowledge of health and safety requirements and the ability to work on your own initiative. You are also likely to have experience of preparing great food to brand specifications, especially cooked breakfasts and our famous home made scones!

In return, our Chef will receive:

• A generous 30% employee discount
• Discounted meals on duty
• Company pension
• Chef Whites uniform
• Free onsite parking
• Career growth opportunities

As a national Garden Centre group, we know how important nature is for wellbeing, but we also provide a free and confidential employee assistance programme for anyone who needs additional support.

And here’s something important to know. There’s no such thing as a perfect job candidate, so don’t hold back on applying, we’d love to hear from you. Notcutts is a place where everyone (and everything!) can grow. We’re committed to equality of opportunity and we welcome applications from every part of our community and beyond.
