Level 2 Commis Chef Apprenticeship
We have an exciting opportunity for a Level 2 Commis Chef Apprentice to join the team at The Albion Farm Shop & Cafe.
Located on a hillside with seriously stunning views out across the countryside of Saddleworth, Albion Farm Shop boasts a spectacular spot to feast on local goodies while admiring the views. The farm shop has won plenty of admirers who enjoy the drive out through some of Greater Manchester's most spectacular scenery with the reward of hearty home-made food at the end.
The farm shop and cafe are all based on a working farm in Delph, and over the years the family-run business has expanded into the cafe and shop business as demand from customers has increased. It now boasts a hefty array of local produce, fresh fruit and vegetables and a huge cheese counter and butchery inside the converted farm building.
The cafe at the building's front has been boosted by an outdoor terrace full of seating. Here diners can truly admire the views out across Delph, Dobcross, Diggle, Greenfield, Scouthead and Lydgate.
