Line Chef

Wilson’s Manchester is hiring a new Line Chef!

Wilson’s is a vibrant, all day, bar and restaurant in the heart of Manchester’s Northern Quarter. Blending relaxed brunch, modern small plates and a strong drinks offering, the venue transitions seamlessly from daytime brunch culture into a lively late-night social venue, with live music, events and a packed weekend trade.

Rooted in a casual, high-volume environment with a strong local following, Wilson’s is built on quality, consistency and personality, making it an exciting place for a Line Chef looking to develop their skills and become part of a fast-paced kitchen team.

We’re fast-paced and high volume. Whether you’re an experienced Line Chef or a Commis Chef ready to take the next step, we want to hear from you.

The kitchen is open from 9am, seven days a week, but closes by 8pm during the week and 7pm at weekends, allowing you to take back control of your evenings!
