Frank's Cafe

Frank’s Cafe is looking for positive, energetic chefs to join our team for what is arguably the best summer kitchen job going. We are proud to provide a fun & supportive working environment, made all the better by the rare pleasure of working outside throughout the summer

We work with the best summer ingredients to make simple, delicious food to be enjoyed overlooking one of the best views of London in the City. The menu showcases some of our favourite ingredients from some of the best producers and growers around Europe and the UK and focuses around our charcoal and wood burning grills and oven. Cooking at Frank’s is a unique experience and something that has over the years been shared in by some of the best chefs in London, including Sam Kamienko of Leroy, Nick Balfe of Salon & Holm, Jackson Boxer of Brunswick House & Dove, and Mattie Taiano of Gina.

You will be working with the support of our Exec Chef and an experienced management team.

Experience is preferred but not absolutely essential, as full training is provided. The role would be ideal for those with experience in high volume hospitality settings and previous experience working with fresh, seasonal ingredients.

We value attitude, personality and a love of service above all else.

The Camberwell Arms

The Camberwell Arms is a celebration of generosity and hospitality, rooted in excellent, product-focussed, seasonal cooking; informed yet informal service; and a wine list that focuses on small production, biodynamic and properly made natural wines.

In the kitchen we respect the ingredients and each other and we work towards an atmosphere of learning, growth and development. Our rotas are balanced and considerate and we get the job done without doing ourselves in.

We take pride as purveyors of joy, serving delicious food. We are committed in our striving for a convivial working atmosphere of learning and growth.

The role comprises the delivery of quality and consistency on a section during service as well as demonstrating an understanding of all the work that comes before a dish makes it to the pass.

Prep shifts involve learning the various processes and techniques involved in our menus and having an active role in menu development. We work with some of the best suppliers in the country, and you will have the opportunity to work with some amazing produce, as well as learning about whole animal butchery.

Growth & development is intrinsic to the role. We offer a tailored development trajectory via regular 121s to suit your interests and direction.

We are looking for chefs with a year or more experience under their belt already, as you'll be entering into a role that requires a good level of organisation, solid technical skills and confidence in busy services. Further training will be provided and you'll have plenty of opportunity to broaden your knowledge and skill set.

Above all else, we're seeking someone with genuine interest in food who wants to pursue a career in kitchens. A positive attitude and being a team player are essential.

As well as a fair wage, we offer 50% off dinner for you and your friends or family, cost price food & wine to take home, and staff food & beers at the beginning and end of your shifts.

We issue our rotas two weeks ahead so you can plan and live your life outside the kitchen. Full timers work 6 shifts a week with just one double shift.
