  • A Disability Confident Employer and a Top 100 Best Companies to work for

 

We are looking for an experienced Sous Chef to join our friendly kitchen team at our Rick Stein Cafe, in the heart of Padstow, Cornwall. 

We see ourselves as being in the 'cheering up industry' trying to make people smile with great food, drink and experiences.

Grow your career with us  

We're not just passionate about food, we're passionate about developing our people too.  Many of our Head Chefs have worked their way up through the chef ranks from Kitchen Porter so they know exactly how to support and develop your chef career with us. 75% of our managers have been promoted from within and we want to help you fulfil your potential. We'll invest in you with:  

  • Craft skills and training (wine and food tastings, supplier visits) to develop your knowledge and confidence 
  • Opportunities to move between parts of our business 
  • Encouragement to apply for bigger roles when the time is right 
  • Regular encouragement and support from your manager

  • Staff surprises. We like to make you smile, so there'll be little treats from us throughout the year. 
  • Holiday. You'll get 28 days paid holiday every year which increases after 2 years
