We are different so forget any ideas of what you think we do….
We are looking for a Chef de Partie who shares our passion for great food to join us on our journey to create the best campus food experience. This post is a mid-level post within our team and will involve working with our Aspiring Chef team. This Post will help develop any aspiring chefs core skills and future progression within the team.
We produce fresh, nutritious and tasty dishes from scratch, with our menus changing daily and following seasonality across six kitchens. ‘Remarkable Kitchens at a Remarkable University’ was how Radio 4’s Food Programme summed us up after visiting us. Our love of food is in the DNA of the University, as a global leader in teaching and research in and around Agriculture, Food, Nutrition and Sustainability as well as having our own farms that supply our kitchens. We are following an ambitious vision to be the best!
We are committed to the 24 Principles of Menus of Change, guiding our thinking around nutrition and sustainability. We are the first European Member of the Menus of Change Universities Research Collaborative (MCURC). MCURC is a group of 70 like-minded Universities committed to using academic and operational research to improve the health of individuals and the planet.
We are a relatively small team, so all our Chefs regularly move between sites, trading in different styles. We encourage everyone to contribute to the up-coming menus and are looking forward to holding development days where your creativity is only limited by your mind!
