At CGC, food and culinary delight is at the heart of everything we do. Each dish we serve is meticulously curated by our Cheffing team, and we are now on the lookout for Casual Chefs to join our team and support in our culinary mission! It's an extremely fast paced environment where two days are never the same- every event and venue is different so you'll have the opportunity to develop and learning like never before. In a day of the life of our Chef, you'll play a part in creating and executing divine dishes for all our events whilst managing standards and service within the existing team.
