Why work here

We hire for character and teach the rest.

Above-market pay, service shared

Transparent bands published internally, and service charge split across the whole team.

Four-day kitchen weeks

Ten-hour days, four days, two consecutive off. Rotas published three weeks ahead.

Real training budget

₵8,000 per person a year for stages, WSET, courses — anything that makes you better.

Family meal, twice a shift

Cooked by whoever is best at it that day, eaten sitting down, together.

Health cover for you and yours

Full private cover extended to a partner and children from day one.

No shouting

A hard kitchen, not a cruel one. We fired that culture out in 2016 and never missed it.
