Tired of Stirring the Same Pot? Time for a Fresh Start
Heydays in Exmouth is calling all seasoned chefs who are fed up with rigid schedules, zero flexibility, and the elusive concept of "work-life balance." If your current job feels like Groundhog Day with a side of burnout, we've got something tastier on the menu.
We're a fast-paced, beachside seasonal spot serving up freshly prepared dishes from all corners of the culinary map. We take pride in doing things properly — sourcing local produce, cooking with flair, and keeping standards sky-high. Our team? Friendly, hard-working, and always up for a laugh (and a post-shift pint).
Why Join Heydays?
* 4-day working week — because life's too short for 60-hour slogs
* £2/hour average in tips + weekly cash tips — your wallet will thank you
* Big team energy — support, camaraderie, and no lone wolves
* Flexible hours — we get it, you've got a life outside the kitchen
What You'll Be Doing:
* Running your section like a boss
* Cooking up high-quality, good-looking plates
* Keeping waste low and standards high
* Staying on top of food safety (we like our customers alive)
* Managing stock like a pro
* Handling customer requests with grace (and maybe a bit of sass)
What We're Looking For:
* Proven chef experience (not just a master of beans on toast)
* Culinary skills across multiple cuisines
* Food safety know-how
* Cool head in a hot kitchen
* Organised, efficient, and detail-obsessed
* Ready to work evenings, weekends, and holidays — but not all of them
If you're passionate about food, love a buzzing kitchen, and want to work somewhere that values your time and talent, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply now and let's cook up something great together.
