Chef – The Caravan Shop

We’re looking for a chef to join the small team at The Caravan Shop.

It’s a hands-on role working closely with the rest of the team, but on many days you’ll also be responsible for running the kitchen independently — organising your prep, managing service and making sure everything leaving the kitchen is at the standard we expect.

We’re looking for someone who is confident, organised and comfortable taking responsibility for their own section of the business. You don’t need to have worked in huge kitchens or have a particular background; we’re much more interested in someone who cooks well, cares about ingredients and takes pride in doing things properly.

The food is seasonal, ingredient-led and made from scratch, with plenty of opportunity to contribute ideas and develop alongside the business.

You’ll be joining a small, supportive team, so reliability, good communication and a positive attitude are just as important as cooking ability.

The role involves:

• Running the kitchen independently on many shifts
• Prep and service
• Maintaining standards and organisation
• Ordering and stock management
• Food safety and kitchen cleanliness
• Working closely with the wider Caravan Shop team
• Contributing to menu development and seasonal changes

Experience in a similar role would be useful, but attitude and ability matter more to us than job titles.

Full-time position.
Salary dependent on experience.

• Starting hourly rate of £11.71 + share of TRONC from service charge
• Staff meals on shift
• Daily family meal
• Generous employee dining discounts across Cultar Restaurant Group venue
• Staff uniform provided
• Workplace Pension Scheme (eligible employees)
• Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) with confidential support
• Mental Health First Aiders available in every venue
• Clear opportunities for progression within the group
