We’re proud to have a healthy, positive and fun kitchen environment, where everyone is allowed to be themselves. Our values are really important to us - and we’re looking for someone who wants to be part of a close knit team and can communicate well with everyone at all levels.
We don’t have a traditional kitchen structure at Cafe 77 - that means no unnecessary hierarchy - as part of your job you will cook, you will prep, you will re-stock, you will clean - we all chip in and do a bit of everything. We have management and more experienced team members, but no one is too important for washing up!
Our produce is very important to us - we’ve always focused on sourcing produce local to us, from independent suppliers who care about the welfare and sustainability of their products and of course, the quality. Our founder Rowan has had a fascination with burgers from an early age, and have travelled the globe in search of the very best on offer. We’ve taken what we’ve learnt, added a little bit of what we think makes them special, and come up with what we feel is a pretty darn good burger - in fact we won Best Burger at the British Street Food Awards in 2023.
We believe that fast food can be great quality and truly sustainable. But this doesn’t mean it should be overly complicated or intimidating. Our menu of breakfast rolls and smash burgers is simple and nostalgic - familiar flavours that make you feel like a kid again. We work with artisan producers and directly with farmers to ensure that the supply chain of our ingredients is as short as possible.
