Chef

Sutton Harbour, Plymouth

We’re growing our kitchen team and looking for a passionate, creative Chef who genuinely loves food and wants to be part of what we’re building at Signature Strawberries.

For us, this one is really about passion.

We want someone who gets excited about food. Someone who notices trends, saves dishes they want to recreate, loves trying new flavours and actually cares about the plate they’re putting out.

SS is a busy independent brunch café on Sutton Harbour with a strong identity and an ever-evolving menu. Our food is modern, creative and trend-led elevated brunch, bold flavours, seasonal specials and dishes designed to taste as good as they look.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’d love to find someone who:

• Has previous experience working as a Chef in a busy kitchen
• Is genuinely passionate about food and hospitality
• Has a creative eye and takes pride in presentation
• Keeps up with current food, café and brunch trends
• Loves learning, developing and trying new ideas
• Works well as part of a team
• Brings a positive attitude and good energy into the kitchen
• Can stay calm and organised during busy services
• Takes pride in consistency, cleanliness and high standards
• Is reliable, motivated and wants to progress

(Previous brunch or high-volume café experience would be a huge advantage)

We’re particularly interested in chefs who understand modern brunch & delivering consistently beautiful food during a busy service.

MORE THAN JUST TURNING UP FOR A SHIFT

We don’t want someone who simply comes in, cooks what's on the docket and goes home.

We want someone who wants to learn, contribute and get involved.

Someone who’ll bring ideas to the kitchen, get excited about a new menu launch, suggest a flavour combination, help develop a special and genuinely care about making the food better.

You’ll work alongside an experienced kitchen team and Head Chef, with opportunities to learn, develop your skills and have input into future dishes and seasonal menus.

THE RIGHT PERSON

Passion matters to us. Attitude matters. Creativity matters.

Skills can always be developed, but we’re looking for someone with that natural drive to be good at what they do.

Someone who loves food, works hard, supports the people around them and wants to be part of a kitchen that’s constantly evolving.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

An independent business where creativity is encouraged and good ideas are actually listened to.

A modern, evolving food concept rather than the same menu year after year.

The opportunity to learn, develop and grow alongside the business and be part of a team that genuinely cares about what we're creating.
