Our vision is to be the most loved, progressive and responsible way to travel for generations to come. Since we took over on the East Coast mainline, we've been changing the face of rail travel. So, what exactly does an LNER chef do?
As an LNER Chef you'll be responsible for:
Managing our onboard kitchen and enhancing our customers' experience by preparing, cooking and serving high quality dishes which have been specially selected by our Hero Chefs.
Working as an essential part of our onboard crew you'll be involved in ordering, monitoring and controlling stock to ensure that we not only offer a full menu whenever possible, but also that we're cooking with the freshest food and ingredients available.
Acting as the food safety professional on each service, our Chefs are responsible for ensuring that food hygiene and health and safety regulations regarding food storage and preparation are fully adhered to at all times.
Spending time outside of the kitchen supporting our Customer Hosts with their duties and ensuring that our customers receive a truly memorable customer experience.
Think you can manage all of this whilst travelling at 125mph? To make it as a Chef on board our trains you'll need:
A professional Chef Qualification (NVQ level 2 in Food Preparation) as well as a thorough understanding of food hygiene and safety.
To be a true foodie with a genuine passion for creating top quality dishes.
The ability to work well under pressure, enjoying the bustle of being front of house as much as being busy in the kitchen.

Once your medical gets the thumbs up, we'll finalise any last details and look forward to you joining our team.
