• Lead development sessions, tastings, and team workshops
• Ensure dishes are costed, scalable, and kitchen-ready
• Travel to client sites across the UK (and occasionally internationally)
What You Bring
• Experience as a Development Chef, ideally across QSR, casual dining, pubs or restaurants
• Strong culinary background with a precise and practical approach
• Confidence in client settings – from pitching ideas to leading cook-ups

• The right to work in the UK and ability to travel
