Cover for a shift, a week or a season.
Sickness, holidays, a busy season or a gap while you recruit. We send vetted relief chefs who are ready to work from the first ticket, from kitchen porter to executive chef.
- Every chef ID-checked, right-to-work checked and referenced
- Short-term, long-term and seasonal placements
- Nationwide, subject to availability
Chefs chosen by people who have run kitchens.
We know what a good chef de partie, sous chef or head chef looks like in service, because we have worked alongside them. We put forward chefs we would trust in our own kitchens, and temp-to-perm lets you see them in your kitchen before you commit.
When the rota falls apart, call us.
A no-show, sickness or a sudden rush of bookings. Our team is available day and night to help find emergency cover anywhere in the UK, subject to availability.
