The Role
We're opening a new Scottish pub and dining room in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, and we're looking for Commis Chefs to join us from the beginning.
Food is at the heart of what we're building. We’ll be working with great Scottish produce, charcoal cooking, fresh seafood and proper pub classics, all made with care and attention to detail.
As a Commis Chef, you'll have the chance to work alongside an experienced kitchen team, learn new skills and build your confidence in a busy, supportive environment. Whether you're starting out in your career or looking for your next opportunity to develop, we want you to feel valued, supported and proud of the food you're helping to create.
What You'll Be Doing
- Working alongside our chefs to prepare fresh ingredients and support the kitchen throughout service.
- Helping with mise en place and making sure your section is organised and ready to go.
- Learning how to cook and present food to a consistently high standard.
- Supporting the team during busy services and helping wherever you're needed.
- Keeping your section clean, tidy and well organised.
- Following food safety and hygiene standards and taking pride in doing things properly.
- Helping with stock rotation, deliveries and reducing food waste.
- Learning from the senior chefs and getting the opportunity to work across different sections.
- Being involved from the very beginning and helping us build the kitchen and team we want to be known for.
What We're Looking For
- Some professional kitchen experience is helpful, but it's not everything — attitude, enthusiasm and a willingness to learn matter just as much.
- Someone who genuinely enjoys food and wants to improve their cooking.
- A team player who is happy to support others and ask questions when they need help.
- Someone reliable, hardworking and proud of what they do.
- A positive attitude, even when service gets busy.
- An interest in Scottish produce, seasonal cooking and charcoal or open-fire cooking would be great, but training and support will be there.
- Most importantly, someone who wants to learn, grow and be part of something from the start.
What You'll Get
- Competitive salary plus tronc
- 25% to 50% discount on food and drink across Signature Group venues
- Opportunities for training, development and progression within the group
- Additional annual leave with length of service
- Access to our confidential 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
- A team that takes work-life balance seriously
