Windsor | £29,500 + share of service charge + benefits
Early starts, a busy breakfast service and the chance to make a real impact in a well-established hotel kitchen.
We’re looking for a Breakfast Chef to join the kitchen team at a well-established hotel in Windsor.
This is a great opportunity for a Chef who enjoys the buzz of breakfast service, takes pride in producing good quality food and likes having a role that extends beyond simply cooking breakfast.
You’ll be responsible for delivering a high-volume breakfast service, working with a predominantly buffet offering while also preparing individual dishes when required. On quieter mornings, the service moves towards an à la carte format, so you’ll need to be comfortable adapting to changing guest numbers.
What does the role involve?
Breakfast is busy, with around 120–140 covers during the week and 200+ at weekends, so this is a hands-on position where organisation and consistency are important.
Once breakfast service is complete, you’ll become part of the wider kitchen operation, helping with preparation for:
* Afternoon Tea
* Staff meals
* Conference and meeting breaks
* The following day's service
* General kitchen preparation
You’ll work 40 hours per week across 5 days out of 7, with shifts generally starting between 5:30am and 6:00am and finishing in the early afternoon.
What are we looking for?
You don’t necessarily need a background specifically in hotel breakfasts. We’re interested in Chefs who have worked in a professional kitchen and are confident producing food consistently in a busy environment.
You’ll ideally have experience with breakfast or all-day dining, although candidates from other suitably busy kitchen environments will be considered.
More importantly, you’ll be:
* Reliable and comfortable with early starts
* Organised and able to keep on top of a busy service
* Confident working independently
* Comfortable working as part of a small kitchen team
* Focused on food quality, presentation and consistency
* Familiar with food hygiene and kitchen safety requirements
* Flexible enough to support other areas of the kitchen when breakfast service is finished
Applicants must already have the right to live and work in the UK. Visa sponsorship is not available, and staff accommodation cannot be provided.
If you’re a Chef who enjoys a busy breakfast service and wants a role where you can become an important part of the wider kitchen team, send me your CV and I’ll be happy to tell you more
