About This Role

MINCKA Coffee is looking for a full-time Prep Chef to take charge of our small but mighty kitchen. This is a hands-on, solo-chef role. Perfect for someone with solid kitchen experience who loves being organised, working independently, and takes genuine pride in their prep.
We're not a restaurant kitchen. There's no ticket machine, no à la carte service. Instead, our menu is all about quality grab-and-go food - think toasted sourdough toasted sandwiches, sandos, yoghurt & granola pots and smoothies - all prepped fresh using top-notch ingredients.
You'll be part of a tight-knit team who care deeply about doing things well, treating each other with respect, and delivering something special every day.

Requirements
- At least 2 years experience in a professional kitchen
- Confident working solo and handling the full morning prep routine
- Skilled with food prep, basic cooking, and stock control
- Organised, reliable, and calm under pressure
- A team player who brings good energy and a high standard of cleanliness

Benefits
- £29,120-£39,040 salary (depending on experience)
- Full-time PAYE contract
- 28 days paid holiday
- Pension contributions
- Free
