Chef

Your career. Made by you. Your safety and job security - we know these matter to you, possibly more than anything else at the moment. We want to assure you that all of our pizzerias are Covid secure and we have a range of measures in place to keep both our customers and teams safe. These include; social distancing, daily and weekly health and wellbeing checks with our teams, regular wellbeing checks that include open honest dialogue, a digital menu and cashless payment, hand sanitiser stations, a culture of handwashing on top of normal handwashing that is needed to maintain food safety standards, and enhanced cleaning regimes and sanitisation. We were recently bought by new owners, who have looked after our teams during the Covid lockdowns and have committed to further investment in our pizzerias in the coming months and years. We have exciting times ahead; come and be part of the journey.
