Step into a Senior CDP role where internal promotion has created a genuine opportunity to progress your career in a kitchen that's serious about fresh food and wood-fired pizza excellence.

This role offers you the chance to earn up to £38k+ with tronc (circa £2 per hour in tips), with the option of live-in accommodation – a rare combination that sets this opportunity apart.
