Love creating food as much as cooking it?

This is a genuinely creative role, but it's not development for development's sake. You'll take ideas from initial concept and tasting through to costing, specification, training and live delivery – creating food that looks incredible, tastes brilliant and actually works at event scale.

• 70% development and R&D focused
• Around 30% live events and delivery
• Company pension
• Holiday allowance
