The role - Kitchen Assistant/Chef

Main duties include:

• 
  Keeping the Market Table well stocked up and beautifully presented throughout service
• Creating attractive homemade desserts to order
• Preparing vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian dishes to order
• Maintaining guest areas around the Market Table and back of house areas
• Ensuring high quality standards are upheld at all times, from receiving deliveries of ingredients to presenting finished dishes/sides to guests
• Working and communicating effectively within the kitchen team and with front of house team members
• Completing due diligence and ensuring full compliance with relevant health and safety and food safety regulations
