Job Description

One for the Table is a small, independent cafe that opened in Spring 2026. We serve high-quality brunch & coffee just moments away from Walthamstow Central in East London.

Now we’ve found our feet, we’re looking for a passionate, talented chef who genuinely cares about food, quality ingredients, and great hospitality to lead our kitchen. As we’re still a young business, this is a fantastic opportunity to build on the foundations we've created, improve kitchen systems, and grow alongside the café.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a small, close-knit team where your ideas and input will genuinely shape the business. We're building a workplace that's supportive, collaborative, and enjoyable—one that feels just as good to work in as it does to visit.

Key responsibilities/What you’ll be doing

Preparing and cooking high-quality brunch dishes with a focus on flavour, presentation, and attention to detail.
Ensuring quality & consistency is maintained throughout our busy periods.
Keeping the kitchen clean, organised, and compliant with food safety standards.
Managing stock effectively and helping minimise wastage.
Developing seasonal dishes and continually improving our menu.
Working closely with the front-of-house team to deliver a seamless customer experience.
Liaising with suppliers and placing orders.
Helping create efficient kitchen systems as the business continues to grow.
Happy to work independently and lead a small team.
