What are the entry requirements?
You must be between school leaving age and 24*, have the right to work in the UK, no criminal convictions and not be in full time education.
We like you to have certain traits – to be hard working, with a good work ethic and the desire to learn. Our employees have to be self-motivated to work under pressure and time constraints, and of course a passion for food is vital! But remember, we don’t expect you to have any relevant experience - we are looking for your personality and potential instead!
*In Scotland, you must be a school leaver up to 19 yrs of age.
