Even Flow is an established, busy, community focused neighbourhood coffee shop in the St. John's area of Tunbridge Wells, well known for its creative workshops, pop-up evenings, and private events. We have a tight nit team of ace baristas, and we're looking for a bright, shining candidate to head up the kitchen.
Job Overview
We are seeking a friendly, positive chef to head up our small cafe kitchen. We want someone with BIG ideas, a passion for food like no other and with the confidence and ability to create brunch-forward menu ideas, work on bespoke events, and fill our counter with inspired, 'think-outside-the-box' sandwiches and treats. Our current chef has a passion for baking, which the ideal candidate would have too, creating a variety of cakes and cookies, including vegan and gluten free options. This isn't a deal-breaker, but the ability to bake would be a fantastic bonus.
Responsibilities
Lead the kitchen with energy and creativity, serving up fresh, seasonal menu and counter dishes that look as good as they taste.
Work closely with the FOH team to keep service smooth, positive, and full of good vibes.
Develop new ideas for breakfast, brunch, and lunch menus that fit our café's style and community feel.
Stay organised with ordering, prep, and stock so the kitchen always runs like clockwork.
Keep the space spotless and safe, following all food hygiene and safety standards.
Qualifications
At least 2 years experience in a kitchen is necessary
Confidence in menu planning and updating
Knowledge of food preparation techniques and food safety standards
Ability to work efficiently in a small, busy space
Strong attention to detail and organisational skills
Willingness to adapt to customer feedback
If you are passionate about food and eager to work in a dynamic kitchen, we would love to hear from you!
