Are you a creative and skilled Pastry Chef with a flair for crafting delectable desserts?

Then look no further!

You will be an experienced and innovative Pastry Chef, excited to get stuck into this new opportunity.

Our client is a local, independent business that aims to provide a daily brunch menu and a weekly Sunday roast. However, for their main menus, they seek to create a more dynamic and engaging experience. Situated in the multicultural hub of Eddington in Cambridge, the team strives to cater to everyone's tastes.

Their approach involves monthly or seasonal menus inspired by diverse styles such as Classic French, Mexican, Indian, tapas, pizza nights, Japanese, and other Far East options. Additionally, the team plans occasional fine dining set sit-down menus, 6-course tasting nights, and unique experiences like a one-day fish education dining event.

This new restaurant is set to open in March, and you will play a pivotal role in crafting its identity, shaping a varied menu, and leading a dynamic kitchen team.

You will enjoy working in a fantastic open kitchen setting, where no two days are the same and your culinary creativity can flow!
