After the success of last year’s Chef Academy, we’re delighted to open applications for our next Chef Academy Apprenticeship Programme, in partnership with Gateshead College. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a well-established business and begin your journey as part of our ever-evolving Chef Academy.

With exciting culinary developments including collaborations with local brands and enhanced learning events.

You don’t need prior kitchen experience – just enthusiasm, adaptability, and a willingness to learn. Full training will be provided to successful candidates.

Hosted in our Newcastle flagship store, 4 days per week working alongside our experienced chefs.

Learning: 1 day per week at Gateshead College studying for your Level 2 Commis Chef Apprenticeship qualification.

Experience: Hands on learning in a fast-paced environment, developing the essential skills for a rewarding culinary career
