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.
