Chef

Lorne is a special place, a well-loved, independent neighbourhood restaurant known for serving proper plates of food. We love seasonal cooking and have a small, focused menu that changes regularly. Our kitchen is led by Head Chef Graham Brown, whose experience spans top restaurants in London, New York, and Scotland. He works alongside a tight-knit team, including our long-standing sous chef Claire Patterson.

We’re proud to have built a supportive, friendly and balanced kitchen environment where collaboration, respect and consistency matter as much as creativity and drive. We care about flavour, precision, and working with good ingredients treated simply and well.

We’re looking for a junior chef to join our team, someone reliable, eager to learn, and ready to grow in a professional, quality-driven kitchen with a real love and interest in food.

• 1–2 years’ experience in a similar restaurant
• Good knife skills and attention to detail
• A positive attitude and willingness to learn
• Punctual, clean and organised
• Collaborating with the Head Chef and team to develop new dishes and menus
• Able to stay calm and focused in a busy service

What We Offer:

• Full-time role, 7.5 shifts per week
• Professional development and career growth opportunities
• Sundays off
• Christmas to New Year’s Eve off every year
• Staff meals twice a day
• 50% discount at Lorne and partner restaurants
• Supplier training trips
