Trainee Chef
A great opportunity to join a friendly team working with high quality ingredients in a small busy pizzeria by the sea in Lyme Regis.
We’re looking for someone with a passion for food and willingness to learn - we can teach you the rest. We will support an apprenticeship if you would like to pursue that route.
You will be supporting the head chef in making dough, passata and desserts as well as preparing ingredients for service. We source our ingredients either from Italy or from our local vicinity and will encourage you to learn more about the ingredients and recognise great quality.
You will contribute to the high hygiene standards in the kitchen and follow process to ensure consistency of delivery.
We will also teach you to manage our wood fired oven and to make and cook pizzas during service.
To give you the widest experience possible, hours will be 4 full days - 2 prep days (8am-4pm) and 2 service days (2pm-close). One of the service days will be over the weekend (although we are always closed on Sundays).
This role could also suit someone with more experience who could fasttrack to assistant chef.
We are committed to ethical employment and are the first small business in the UK to be awarded ‘Hospitality Assured’ by The Institute of Hospitality - recognising our dedication to providing high quality service.
Competitive wage according to age and experience

Our ethos is to create an environment where staff are happy to work and want to stay. So we believe that planning rotas well in advance to allow you to plan your time off is as important as good pay and conditions.
We train our staff - not just on service but on our menu too. We only use the best ingredients from trusted Italian suppliers and it's important that you understand the benefits and provenance of our food. So we hold regular tastings as well as providing all staff with a pizza to take home at the end of a shift - so that you can recommend your favourite pizzas to our guests.
A supportive team. We have a no negativity policy. All staff work together and support each other.
Uniform provided - do you look good in stripes?
Staff Discount - Fancy a pizza on your night off? We've got you covered.
And of course that glorious view - every shift.
