About the Role
We are looking for a passionate Breakfast Chef to join our team at Bambini, the vibrant trattoria located in The Hoxton, Shoreditch. You will lead the breakfast service, crafting high-quality morning dishes ranging from classic favourites to modern, health-conscious options. Working closely with the Head Chef, you will help plan and evolve the breakfast menu to keep it fresh, seasonal, and full of character. Your responsibilities will include managing ingredients carefully—ordering, storing, and rotating stock to maintain freshness and reduce waste. You will cook and plate with precision and flair, balancing speed with attention to detail while maintaining top-notch food hygiene and safety standards. Collaboration with the wider kitchen and front-of-house teams is essential to ensure smooth service. Occasionally, you will interact with guests, catering to special requests and dietary needs in an open-kitchen setting. You will maintain quality by tasting, tweaking, and presenting dishes that impress every time. The role requires staying calm under pressure, managing time effectively, and solving problems as they arise. You will also contribute to creating a positive and supportive environment where the team can thrive and be themselves.

Experience
Previous experience as a Breakfast Chef or in a similar role within a busy, quality-driven kitchen environment is required. Strong skills in breakfast cookery, including classic egg techniques, pastry work, and modern health-conscious dishes, are essential.

About you
You bring personality and professionalism to the kitchen, confident in your craft and comfortable being yourself. You have a sharp eye for detail, ensuring every plate looks great and tastes even better. You are organised and efficient, able to manage prep, service, and stock with calm precision even during busy morning rushes. You are a creative thinker who brings fresh ideas to the menu while respecting the brand’s style and guest expectations. You are a team player with excellent communication skills, helping to foster a positive kitchen culture. You are a problem-solver who adapts quickly to changing needs and unexpected challenges. Above all, you are passionate about mornings, food, and hospitality, understanding that breakfast sets the tone for the day and loving to make it special.

Qualifications
A solid understanding of food hygiene and safety standards with relevant certifications is required.
