Full Job Description

We are looking for a Kitchen Assistant to join our Fazenda team! Although experience is great, it isn't essential as full training will be given. Our kitchen assistants are responsible for preparing our hot side dishes, vegetarian, vegan, and pescatarian dishes, as well as our desserts and looking after our Market Table., As a rodizio restaurant, the role of the Kitchen Assistant/Chef differs from the traditional setup. Our meats are prepared and cooked in a separate grill section, whilst the kitchen team take responsibility for creating cold dishes for the self service Market Table, as well as hot side dishes, desserts and vegetarian options for our guests.

Main duties include:

  • Keeping the Market Table well stocked up and beautifully presented throughout service

  • Creating attractive homemade desserts to order

  • Preparing vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian dishes to order

  • Maintaining guest areas around the Market Table and back of house areas

  • Ensuring high quality standards are upheld at all times, from receiving deliveries of ingredients to presenting finished dishes/sides to guests

  • Working and communicating effectively within the kitchen team and with front of house team members

  • Completing due diligence and ensuring full compliance with relevant health and safety and food safety regulations

    We believe it is our people that make the difference and help us stand out as being the best. If you are passionate, warm and genuine, we want to hear from you. You will need to be a strong communicator, a team player, have the willingness to learn, show great initiative and share our values of providing the highest quality of service and products to all our guests.


  • As a growing company, it is at the heart of our business to develop from within. If you demonstrate the right attitude, desire and potential, we will help with any additional training to put you on course for a future supervisory or management role.

    At Fazenda, we bring all the tradition behind the unique rodizio way of serving, from the Pampas to the UK. Offering continuous table side service of the finest grilled meats and South-American sides, embracing the rich tradition and heritage of the Pampas, our mission is to elevate rodizio dining to unparalleled heights.

    A place where provenance, quality and tradition meets modern sophistication, we pride ourselves on excellence in delivery through exceptional service and a highly-knowledgeable team.
