We are 1 The Island Quarter.
1 The Island Quarter is an ambitious and exciting real estate development of a 36 acre freehold site in the heart of Nottingham, a development that has been ongoing since 2016 when the land was acquired.
We are a new & dynamic hospitality team charged with creating 1 The Island Quarter to be a sustainable business, transforming it into a cultural hub, a new and exciting destination for experiencing food, arts, music, sporting events and other community interests. The first phase consists of 2 restaurants - Binks Yard and Cleaver & Wake, an outside live events space with a bandstand and an internal venue for private functions.
What we do at 1 The Island Quarter is much more than be just a venue. Our guest-centric team love what they do, taking pride in always delivering value and consistency, they are actively generous in going the extra mile to create great memories for our guests, aiming to deliver genuine, exceptional service that is inclusive, authentic and fun.
Binks Yard
Our Binks Yard team care about our guests, from our front of
house team welcoming you in, our bar team serving up not only drinks but an
experience and our kitchen team creating a plate that excites and delights
you. They care about each other as well
as our guests, our open plan kitchen allows you to see the dishes being crafted
and our team will focus on ensuring Binks Yard becomes a regular occurrence for
your occasions.
The kitchen is your natural habitat – you enjoy seeing a team
thrive during service and hearing the guest compliments coming back
through. Not only will you be designing
the menu, using ingredients that tantalise and excite, but you’ll be there with
your team making these dishes and the open plan kitchen allows you to see the
guests enjoying your creations.
A natural leader you will be developing the talent below
you, utilising your senior team and allowing them to gain the knowledge needed
to become the next Head Chef. You make
sure that all team members have a development plan. Managing food margins and wastage is second
nature to you, writing rotas and hitting labour margins whilst delivering
profit is something you have done in previous roles and will bring to this one.
A 5* food hygiene rating is your bread and butter, you manage
your team to be audit ready at all times, and food safety is paramount – you put
your guests as your priority.
