Things to consider

We open 7 days a week, we work on a rota system but you must be prepared to work weekends (sunday is a 9am start - full day shift) in the week we do split shifts which means two smaller shifts on the same day.
No experience as full training given, must however be very keen to work in a kitchen and not be afraid of hard work.
