Job description

At Cosy Club, you can expect casual days and vibrant evenings. From brunch and coffee to dinner and drinks, our guests join us for an experience like no other.

Our Head Chefs deliver nothing but the best when it comes to cooking, coaching, and mentoring. Working with us, you'll get a competitive salary and a bonus scheme that pays out regularly, alongside:

  1. Overtime pay: work over your contracted hours and you'll get paid at your normal hourly rate, no pre-approval required.
  2. A commitment to prioritise your work-life balance and respect for your time off.
  3. Tips shared equally across the team: based on hours worked.
  4. Two days off a week and one weekend off every six weeks.
  5. Unlimited 50% off staff discount across Cosy Club and Lounge.
  6. Power over your pay with Wagestream.
  7. A meal on shift, no matter the length.
  8. Enhanced maternity/paternity benefit (according to length of service).
  9. Focus on your development and progression with a clear understanding of how you can achieve this.
  10. An invitation to the most talked-about staff party in hospitality - Loungefest!

Most importantly, we will ensure you are made to feel welcome at Cosy Club.

As our Head Chef, you're encouraging and consistent, process-driven, and a real motivator. Your passion for food and pride in what you do are undeniable, and you believe in spotting, encouraging, and rewarding talent within your team. A champion of every section, you'll be surprised by just how much cooking from scratch we do to deliver the Cosy way.

We've created kitchens where fresh food takes center stage - as it always should. Our expectations are high, yet yours are higher. In partnership with the General Manager, we rely on you to influence the atmosphere in the restaurant and master dishes that'll delight our guests all day, every day.

This is an opportunity to call our kitchen your own and to realize what you're capable of.
