Junior Sous Chef

Junior Sous Chef Mulberry House | Award-Winning Weddings & Events

Are you passionate about food, weddings, events and creating unforgettable experiences?

Mulberry House is a three-time National TWIA award-winning wedding and events venue, and we’re getting ready for a record-breaking 2027!

To make sure we’re ready for an incredible year ahead, we’re growing our kitchen team early. We’re looking for an energetic, enthusiastic and talented Junior Sous Chef to join our culinary team in this brand-new role.

And just to be clear…

We DON’T do boring, stereotypical wedding food!

We’re all about fresh, creative, home-produced food that gets people talking. From beautifully presented banqueting and afternoon teas to outdoor cooking, smoking, live food stations and off-site weddings — no two days are quite the same.

Oh, and did we mention our pastry section? It’s pretty amazing!

We also have our own food trailer, host interactive live cooking stations and love getting the smokers fired up for evening events. Basically, if you’re looking for a kitchen job where you’ll be doing the same thing every day, this probably isn’t it!

What We're Looking For

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about food, enjoys working with people and isn’t afraid to get stuck in.

You’ll ideally have:

• Experience working in a professional kitchen, restaurant or hospitality environment.
• Experience supervising or leading a kitchen team.
• A strong understanding of food preparation, production and cooking techniques.
• Good knowledge of food safety, hygiene and kitchen best practices.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to motivate and support your team.
• A genuine passion for great food and exceptional guest experiences.
• The ability to stay calm, organised and positive when things get busy.
• A willingness to learn, develop and take on new challenges.

Why Mulberry House?

Because we’re not just another wedding venue.

We’re a busy, creative and ambitious hospitality business with loads going on and plenty of room to grow.

This is a brand-new role, so there’s a real opportunity for the right person to make it their own, develop their leadership skills and progress within the kitchen team.

If, however, you love variety, creativity, great food and working as part of a team that genuinely enjoys what they do, we’d love to hear from you.

What You'll Be Doing

As Junior Sous Chef, you’ll work closely with our Head Chef and Sous Chefs to keep the kitchen running smoothly and ensure our guests receive fantastic food every time.

Your role will include:

• Helping to oversee the day-to-day running of the kitchen and keeping service running smoothly.
• Supporting food preparation and cooking across our varied events and menus.
• Maintaining consistently high standards of food quality, presentation and portion control.
• Supervising and supporting the kitchen team during shifts, helping everyone work together and get the best out of each other.
• Leading by example when it comes to professionalism, cleanliness and a positive attitude.
• Ensuring food safety, hygiene and sanitation standards are always maintained.
• Helping develop new dishes and menus, and finding ways to make our food even better.
• Managing stock levels, rotation and storage, and assisting with ordering when required.
• Getting involved in everything from weddings and afternoon teas to food trailers, live cooking stations and smoked-food events.
• Helping create the kind of food and experiences that our guests remember long after the wedding cake has been eaten!

We want our chefs to work hard, have fun, learn new skills and — importantly — have a good balance between work and play.

With a record-breaking 2027 on the horizon, there’s never been a more exciting time to join us.

If you’re passionate about food, love a busy kitchen and fancy being part of a team that refuses to serve boring wedding food, we want to hear from you!
