Chef - ELLYS CAFFE CHIGWELL

experienced barista and service staff

We're looking for a skilled and personable chef to join the heart of our kitchen at Ray Park Cafe! As a family-friendly café, everything we do is built around good food, good energy and making every customer feel at home. We need someone who takes pride in what they put on a plate. This is a hands-on role split between not just cooking but all aspects of the café. Our menu is honest, simple food done well — toasties, paninis, burgers and more. You'll be cooking, serving customers face-to-face, running food out, and trained on our drinks in menu too, so you're comfortable across the whole café. What You'll Be Doing: • Preparing and cooking our food menu to a consistently high standard, • Serving customers behind the counter — taking orders, plating up and keeping the front of house running smoothly, • Keeping the kitchen and counter areas clean, organised and compliant with food hygiene standards, • Supporting with drink preparation as needed (full training provided), • Managing stock, flagging shortages and minimising waste, • Working closely with the rest of the team to keep service running smoothly, • Maintaining a positive atmosphere — our customers are families, regulars and locals who come back for the experience as much as the food What We're Looking For: • Professional experience working in a food/kitchen environment is essential— whether that's a café, restaurant, catering, or similar, • A valid Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate is required, • Someone who genuinely enjoys cooking and takes pride in their work, • Excellent customer service skills — you'll be serving behind the counter, not hidden away in a kitchen, • A positive, team-first attitude with a calm head during busy periods, • Reliability and punctuality — we're a small team and we count on each other, • Must be available to work weekends, bank holidays and school holidays, • What We Offer, • £15.00 per hour, • 2 fixed day off per week, • 5.6 weeks paid holiday per year (inclusive of bank holidays), • Bank holidays are regular working days — our busiest times are when everyone else is off!, • Workplace pension scheme, • Staff meals & drinks on shift, • A genuinely friendly, family-run working environment, • Training on drinks and any new menu items A Bit About Us: • Ray Park Cafe is a welcoming, family-friendly café where the atmosphere matters just as much as the food. We're proud to be a space where families feel comfortable, regulars know your name, and every plate goes out with care. If you're someone who values good vibes and honest food, you'll fit right in.
