Sous Chef
We’re on the lookout for super social rockstars to join our hospo family and enjoy the perks that come with it!
Whether it’s a round of pints, a classic feed, or a catch-up with mates, the Taproom is where locals come together. We’re all about fresh flavour, no-fuss hospitality, and creating a vibe that’s relaxed, welcoming, and unmistakably Kiwi. And we need a solid crew in the kitchen to keep it all humming.
We’re looking for a sharp, motivated Sous Chef who knows their way around a high-volume kitchen and thrives in a collaborative team. You’ll support the Head Chef with day-to-day operations, help lead the team through busy shifts, assist with training, menu development, and prep, and keep the kitchen ticking like clockwork. Banter’s encouraged, standards are high, and no two days are the same – if you’re keen to grow, this is a solid step forward.
