• Strong knowledge of traditional British cooking and modern techniques.
• The ability to remain organised and composed during busy services.
• Excellent attention to detail and pride in presentation.

Why Join The Lansbury?

We believe great food doesn't need to be overcomplicated. It starts with excellent ingredients, skilled cooking and a team that cares about what leaves the kitchen.
