Job Details

We’re on the hunt for a Events Head Chef to lead our buzzing kitchen brigade at Grazing HQ. This is a full-throttle, hands-on role running our central production kitchen — delivering mouth-watering food for workplace catering, events and delivery clients.

You’ll bring the flavour, the fire, and the leadership to match — driving daily operations, inspiring your team, smashing service standards, and keeping quality, consistency and costs firmly on point.

What You’ll Be Doing:
  • Own all food production and lead a high-performing team.
  • Run a tight, compliant, spotless kitchen with zero margin for error.
  • Drive daily prep, dispatch and on-site execution.
  • Create exciting menus, train the team, and keep standards sky-high.
  • Manage stock, suppliers, and hit financial targets.
What We’re After:
  • 3+ years in a senior kitchen role (CPU experience = major bonus).
  • Killer leadership skills and a calm, can-do mindset.
  • Strong on food safety, allergens and kitchen systems.
  • Creative, commercial and crazy about consistency.
You’ll Love This Job If You:

Are all about flavour and team culture.
  • Thrive in a fast-paced, high-volume kitchen.
  • Want to help grow a values-driven food business.
  • Don’t mind loading a van or answering the phone if needed — we’re a team, not a hierarchy.
Sound like your kind of gig?

We ensure you're rewarded for all your hard work, which is why we offer a comprehensive benefits package which includes but is not limited to:
  • Contributory pension scheme
  • Grow your career with our Career Pathways and MyLearning programmes
  • Quick access for you and your immediate family to a Digital GP, and wider healthcare benefits
  • Exclusive travel discounts with TUI, Expedia, Booking.com and many more
  • Save money on your food shop with discounts on Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and many more
  • Up to 44% off cinema tickets to enjoy your favourite blockbuster
  • Receive cash rewards every time you spend and use them on a wide range of brands
  • Un-wind with us with free wellness, mindfulness and exercise classes
  • You can share all discounts and offers with your friends and families
