Are you an experienced Head Chef looking for the next step in your career? Do you have a passion for working with fresh, high quality ingredients and inspiring and developing others? We’re looking for a Head Chef to lead and develop our kitchen team at Rick Stein’s Café.

Rick Stein’s Café was opened in 1994 by Rick Stein and Jill Stein. Guests can enjoy a mid-morning treat with homemade cakes and freshly ground coffee. Our Café also offers lunch and dinner options with influences from afar including dishes such as pad Thai noodles, salt and pepper prawns and cod curry. Our Café has a small kitchen team and is perfectly located on Middle Street of Padstow.

We’re passionate about working with fresh ingredients and developing our people to be the best that they can be. You will have many opportunities to develop your skills and we will give you all of the guidance that you need. We take pride in delivering exceptional service to our customers since our first restaurant, The Seafood Restaurant, was opened in Padstow in 1975.
