Craigie's Farm Deli and Café is located in the beautiful countryside between Queensferry and Edinburgh, but we are just 20 minutes from the city centre, so we have the best of both worlds
We're looking for an enthusiastic and experienced Chef to step into our newly created Assistant Head Chef role. You'll be supporting the Head Chef in delivering fresh, seasonal food in a fast paced, customer-focused environment - with the bonus of daytime hours only.
Where else can you get the chance to discuss food with your own Butcher's and Bakers on a daily basis?
About the role:-
* Assist the Head Chef in running the kitchen day-to-day
* Prepare and cook a variety of fresh, seasonal dishes for our café menu
* Help train and support kitchen staff, sharing your skills and passion
* Ensure high standards of food quality, presentation, and hygiene
* Collaborate with the team on menu development and seasonal special
* Opportunity to develop Butchery and Bakery skills
About you:-
* Experienced in a busy café or casual restaurant kitchen
* Skilled in fresh, approachable cooking rather than fine-dining
* Able to lead by example, motivate a small team, and maintain a positive kitchen culture
* Passionate about local produce and seasonal ingredients
We are able to offer a unique working environment which provides a great work-life balance for those seeking to work in hospitality but no nights or splits. Tronc is also part of the package.
This might suit an experienced Chef de Partie looking to step up.
