In a world full of good chefs, have you got what it takes to become a great contract catering chef?

This is a niche sector of our industry that is fast becoming renowned for its innovation and opportunity for aspiring chefs looking for a strong career path...

Can you bring flair, success and passion to a kitchen catering for dozens - maybe hundreds or even thousands - of people? You already know that being a chef is more than a job, it’s a lifestyle. But we believe that food - even in a mass catering environment - is about more than just nourishment.


What are employers looking for in a contract catering head chef?

Our clients are looking for customised solutions, meals that offer an eating experience. They are looking for chefs who see their work as a lifestyle statement, whose passion and commitment know no bounds, and who revel in cosmopolitan and contemporary cuisine, regardless of the number of portions to be produced. Whether preparing lunch for a large workforce or a stylish buffet for a corporate occasion, you will believe in fine ingredients, fresh produce and inspired menus.


BLEND understands that the single most important thing in our business is our people, so we only send candidates’ details to clients where the candidate clearly matches their needs perfectly. Strong leadership in the kitchen is a must, as are decisive organisational skills and an ability to deliver on time, every time, and on budget.

Maintaining consistently high standards, delivering exceptional quality and operating in a logical and cohesive way, you will amaze and delight diners on a daily basis.


Do you have the right qualities?

If you are motivated, hard-working and imaginative, and already working in a contract catering environment but aspire to more, then we may have just the right BLEND of package for you.
