JOIN LA PETITE BRETAGNE FULL-TIME CRÊPIER / CHEF At La Petite Bretagne, making crêpes is more than just cooking — it is craftsmanship. Every galette and crêpe that leaves our kitchen reflects our standards, attention to detail and pride in what we do. We are looking for an experienced Chef or Crêpier who is confident working independently, highly organised and able to stay calm under pressure. This is not an entry-level kitchen position. Previous crêpier experience is a major advantage, but it is not essential. We can teach you our recipes, techniques and standards. What we cannot teach from scratch is professional kitchen discipline, organisation, consistency and the ability to manage yourself during a busy service. Previous professional kitchen experience is essential. Long-term commitment only. No seasonal or short-term applications, please. THE REALITY OF THE ROLE We want to be completely transparent about the position before you apply. La Petite Bretagne is a small restaurant with a small kitchen team, which means that for a large part of your shifts, you will be expected to work independently and manage your section by yourself. There will not always be another chef next to you telling you what needs to be done. You need to be able to organise your own preparation, keep your section ready, manage multiple orders at the same time and stay in control when service becomes busy. That means strong organisation and the ability to work under pressure are extremely important. You will need to: • Organise your own mise en place., • Keep your section fully stocked and prepared., • Manage several orders at the same time., • Prioritise correctly during busy periods., • Work quickly without losing consistency., • Maintain excellent cleanliness throughout service., • Communicate clearly with the front-of-house team., • Stay calm and focused when the kitchen gets busy., • Take responsibility for your own section. If you need constant supervision or struggle to organise yourself during a busy service, this position will probably not suit you.

YOUR ROLE As our Crêpier / Chef, you will be responsible for: • Preparing and cooking traditional savoury galettes and sweet crêpes., • Running your kitchen section independently., • Preparing ingredients and organising your mise en place., • Managing orders efficiently throughout service., • Maintaining consistency in every dish., • Monitoring stock levels., • Keeping your section prepared throughout the day., • Maintaining excellent food safety and hygiene standards., • Keeping your workspace exceptionally clean and organised., • Communicating effectively with front of house., • Taking pride in every plate that leaves your section. ORGANISATION IS ESSENTIAL Being fast is important. Being organised while working fast is even more important. Our restaurant can become very busy, and because you will often be working independently, you need to think ahead. You should naturally be able to recognise: • What needs to be prepared next., • What is running low., • Which orders need priority., • How to organise your workspace efficiently., • How to stay clean while working quickly., • How to maintain the same standard when several orders arrive at once. We are looking for someone who does not wait to be told what to do. You see what needs doing and you do it. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR • Previous professional kitchen experience is essential., • Previous Crêpier experience is highly desirable., • Excellent organisational skills., • Strong time-management skills., • Confidence working independently., • Ability to remain calm under pressure., • Strong attention to detail., • Consistency in food preparation and presentation., • Excellent hygiene and cleanliness standards., • Reliability and punctuality., • Good communication skills., • Someone who takes genuine pride in their work., • Someone looking for a stable, long-term position. Applications from candidates without professional kitchen experience will not be considered. A SMALL, STABLE TEAM One of the biggest advantages of working at La Petite Bretagne is the environment. We have a small and established team, with people who have been with us for a long time. The atmosphere is friendly, calm and respectful. We are not a large kitchen with constant staff changes, unnecessary pressure or endless layers of management. You come in, do your job properly, work with a good team and go home. Once you are fully trained and comfortable with the restaurant, you will be trusted to work independently without somebody constantly standing over you. We believe good people perform better when they are trusted. WORK-LIFE BALANCE The job itself can be demanding during service, but the structure around the job is designed to give you stability. You will have: • Two consecutive days off every week., • A consistent weekly rota., • A rota that remains largely the same from week to week., • Rotas published approximately one month in advance., • The ability to organise your personal life properly., • A stable and predictable working routine., • A friendly and positive working environment. We take work seriously, but we also understand that people have a life outside the restaurant. For someone who values routine, stability and being able to plan ahead, La Petite Bretagne offers a very strong work-life balance. PAY & BENEFITS Your earnings are made up of: Salary + Service Charge + Tips + Performance Bonuses. Guaranteed 16£ minimum In addition, you will receive: • Competitive salary., • Generous service charge on top of salary., • Additional tips., • Performance-based bonuses., • Complimentary staff meals., • Employee discounts., • Full Crêpier training., • Two consecutive days off every week., • Stable weekly rota., • Rotas published approximately one month in advance., • Friendly and supportive working environment., • Recognition and performance-based rewards., • Opportunities to develop within the business. WHO WILL SUCCEED HERE? Someone who enjoys responsibility. Someone who is comfortable working independently. Someone who can walk into their section and organise themselves without waiting for instructions. Someone who stays calm when five orders arrive at once. Someone who understands that independence also means accountability. Someone who works cleanly, thinks ahead and takes pride in consistency. Someone who enjoys working with a small, stable team without unnecessary kitchen politics. And someone who wants a long-term position with strong earning potential, stability, independence and a genuinely good work-life balance. If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.
