You'll be trained in all areas of kitchen work, from preparing fresh ingredients to assisting with service and maintaining high standards of cleanliness and organisation. Most importantly, you'll learn how to deliver food that we can be proud of and that keeps our guests coming back for more.

* A genuine passion for food and hospitality
* Willingness to learn, work hard, and be part of a close-knit team
