Kitchen Assistant Bristol, England
Job description
Wing’s Diner – Kitchen Assistant
Job Type: 25/35 hours per week (£10ph)
Location: Central Bristol
About us and the role:
Wing’s Diner began life as a pop up event and has now been serving up Bristol’s best fried chicken from the kitchen at Small Bar since January 2018. We pride ourselves on serving up delicious, crispy yet juicy butter-milk fried chicken with our signature Asian twist, in a variety of ways ranging from wings and burgers to loaded fries and rice bowls.
In 2021 we launched our online ‘Cluck and Collect’ service through our website, and also partnered with UberEats to bring Wing’s Diner directly to the customer’s door via their established delivery network. In March 2022 we began to expand our operation, and have launched a dedicated kitchen for the purpose of dealing with our delivery platform, as a result are looking to bolster our team numbers.
We are looking for someone with a love for all aspects of food and who ideally has an interest in pursuing that passion by joining our hardworking kitchen crew. The successful candidate will initially join on a part-time basis, however there will be scope to progress the role to around 30/35 hours per week as the business develops, should you wish.
