Looking for a chef's job where you can create delicious food using local produce, finish by 4pm and have a day off every weekend? Look no further!

Joining our fast-paced, friendly and ambitious kitchen in The Garden Cafe will enable you to work sociable hours directly under our Head Chef, with a focus on work/life balance, in a forward-thinking environment. You will use local produce and the best ingredients to create and serve our extremely popular menus to the highest standards.

Here at Beetham Nurseries, our food & drink offering in The Garden Cafe offers daily breakfasts, lunches and light bites.
