Join the Kitchen at Mother Shipton's Inn
Commis Chef Position Available
At Mother Shipton's Inn, we believe food is at the heart of every great story. From comforting pub classics to indulgent specials, our dishes bring people together — and our kitchen team is what makes it possible.
We're looking for a passionate Commis Chef to join our busy kitchen, working alongside experienced chefs and learning the craft in a supportive, fast-paced environment. This role is perfect for someone eager to grow their skills and be part of a team that takes pride in every plate served.
What You'll Be Doing
* Assisting with food prep and cooking under the guidance of senior chefs.
* Keeping the kitchen clean, organised, and always up to food safety standards.
* Supporting smooth service during busy shifts.
* Helping with menu development and bringing fresh ideas to the table.
* Ensuring ingredients are well cared for and properly stored.
* Working closely with the kitchen team to deliver dishes on time and beautifully presented.
* Learning cooking techniques and presentation skills to grow as a chef.
* Assisting with training new team members when needed.
What We're Looking For
* A genuine passion for cooking and hospitality.
* Experience in food prep and production (but enthusiasm to learn is just as important).
* Knowledge of food safety and kitchen hygiene.
* Organisational skills to keep things running smoothly.
* Team spirit and the ability to stay calm in a lively kitchen.
* Restaurant or pub experience is a bonus, but not essential.
* A positive attitude, eagerness to improve, and a love of creating great food.
