Hobbsons Pie Shop & Restaurant, Cambridge
Commis Chef
JOB OVERVIEW
Did you know? 30% of the population prefer sweet pies to savoury pies, and 70% of the population have their priorities straight.
At Hobbsons, we serve Best of British food with an emphasis on pies, all of which we make entirely on the premises. This is a great opportunity to prepare and cook fresh food, from pies to puddings to sausage rolls.
Established as a pie shop since 1987, Hobbsons, formerly Browns, has built an excellent reputation within Lincoln and beyond, with diners expecting great food, great service and a warm atmosphere. As a part of our kitchen team, you will be expected to consistently uphold our high standards and deliver food that you can be proud of to our guests.
Here at Hobbsons, our brand is very much tongue-in-cheek, so a sense of humour is a must, along with a bright personality. We’re looking for a Chef with a bubbly personality to add flavour, flair and fun to everything we do. If this sounds like you, we might well be cooking on gas.
PERSON SPECIFICATION
The ideal candidate for this position will have a keen interest in cooking and preparing food from scratch, must be able to work as part of a team and be able to follow instructions. Enthusiasm, professionalism and, maybe most importantly, common sense, are a must to work at Hobbsons. And if you like dogs, then even better.
