You’re also:

• a cook with a flair for creating delicious and nutritious meals for varied dietary requirements
• creative in menu development and food preparation
• an excellent team player
• adaptable and flexible
• someone with excellent verbal and written communication skills
• we like our Cooks to have a food hygiene certificate and a relevant catering qualification, but these aren’t necessary
