Full Time Chef

FULL-TIME CHEF

Bristol | Full Time

Come and cook somewhere that actually cares about food.

There are plenty of kitchens in Bristol.

We're trying to build something a little different.

Ampersand is a fresh-food-led restaurant, café and bar built around exceptional food, warm hospitality and bringing people together.

And we're looking for a chef to join us as we build it.

WHAT'S IT LIKE HERE?

We're are about good food.

We care about ingredients.

We care about technique.

We care about consistency.

But we're also building a kitchen where people can learn, experiment, ask questions, make mistakes and get better.

Because being a good chef isn't about knowing everything.

It's about wanting to know more.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

You'll work as part of our kitchen team, helping deliver the food that makes Ampersand what it is.

You'll:

• Prepare and cook fresh food to a consistently high standard.
• Work across sections and develop your skills.
• Maintain excellent food hygiene and kitchen standards.
• Help with prep, service, stock and cleaning.
• Work closely with the wider kitchen and front-of-house teams.
• Contribute ideas.
• Learn from experienced chefs.
• Help us continually improve what we do.

And yes, there will be busy services.

There will be prep.

There will be cleaning.

There will be days when everything goes completely mental.

That's hospitality.

But there should also be laughter, great food, good people and the feeling that you're part of something.

WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Someone who cares.

You don't need to know everything.

You do need to want to get better.

Maybe you're already an experienced chef.

Maybe you're ready for your next step.

Maybe you're looking for somewhere you can actually develop rather than just work the same section forever.

If you bring energy, curiosity, pride and a willingness to get stuck in, we'll help you build the rest.

WHAT MAKES AMPERSAND DIFFERENT?

We want people to be proud of the food they create.

Proud of the team they're part of.

And proud of the place they're helping build.

Good food & great people.

If that sounds like your kind of kitchen, come and meet us.
