About COOK

1. COOK is a pioneering frozen food company, since 1997 we've been making remarkable food for your freezer, prepared by hand at our Kitchens in Kent (savoury) and Somerset (puddings) using the same ingredients and techniques you would at home. It means our food looks and tastes homemade, maybe even a bit better.
2. We're market leaders and (more importantly) our food tastes incredible. We have over 90 shops and a rapidly growing online business.
3. We're independent (family-owned) and always will be because it allows us to do things the right way, not the fast way. We believe in business as a force for good in society and have certified as one of the UK's first B Corporations to help us measure what matters when it comes to our impact on our environment, our people, and our community.
4. We share 5% of our annual profits with staff.

Good to Have

1. Good communication skills.
2. Live the Cook Values, participating in a happy and productive environment.
3. NVQ Level 2 (or equivalent) in Catering would be great, but not essential. However, you will need experience of working within a kitchen and fast-paced environment.
