Position Overview & Specifications
Cherry Reds is an independent cafe and pub with a community spirit and supportive team. Our fresh, cooked to order, menu caters for all diets, having served vegan and no gluten containing food for over 12 years. We serve the same menu all day, from homemade American style pancakes to hearty salads and burgers. Our rooms upstairs are available to hire and guests often preorder from our popular buffet menus.
We are looking for an experienced kitchen team member who is able to work evenings and weekends.

Knowledge of food hygiene, stock rotation, knife skills and allergens is essential.
In return for your hard work we pride ourselves on being a friendly and engaging place to work, with flexibility in working hours and a unified effort between front and back of house.
