Chef - united kingdom, stroud, gloucestershire

woodruffs is a coffee shop and café that since 1998 has specialised in homemade healthy vegetarian and vegan breakfasts and lunches as well as many delicious cakes.

we are looking for someone to work alongside the head chef to prep and serve our savoury breakfasts, lunches and snacks. we are also looking for a separate cake baker, and could combine the two roles if it suits you.

essential skills:

experience of cooking food from scratch – prepping veg, cooking grains and pulses

consistency and attention to flavour and presentation – the customer should not be able to tell which of the three possible chefs has made their food!

ability to multitask

good communication and teamwork

always wanting to improve

level 2 food hygiene

knowledge of food costs and if making your own things, proper costing and documentation of the recipes so other chefs are able to make the items to the same standard.

good kitchen practices: dating and labelling of food, clearing up after yourself, paperwork such as temperature checks, reporting low stock levels etc.

desirable:

knowledge of vegan and vegetarian food – adding flavour and using natural ingredients rather than meat substitutes

interest in nutrition

interest in food sustainability

knowledge of what’s in season

the main role would be sundays and mondays (acting as head chef) then tuesdays and either wednesdays or thursdays (potentially both during busier periods) – around 21 hours (sundays 9–4, monday 7.30–3.30, tues/wed 9–3). if you are looking for something different, please let us know – we may be able to shuffle days and hours around.

additional hours will be needed to cover holidays amongst other cooks. we may also host some evening events.
