About us

Street Croft Farm is a family-run regenerative farm in Herriard, south of Basingstoke. Ian Constable and Hannah Jones breed, rear and grow food on site, selling through our farm shop and café at weekends. We are building a chef-led café menu that uses what we produce here and from local independents.

We are looking for a cook who loves working with farm-fresh produce and enjoys a busy weekend service in a friendly farm setting. You will help shape and deliver food for café visitors while we grow the menu through the seasons.

What you will do

• Prepare and cook café food for weekend service (breakfast, lunch and light bites as the menu develops).
• Use meat, veg and other produce from the farm and trusted local suppliers.
• Work with the team on prep, service and clear-down on busy weekend days.
• Keep kitchen areas clean, organised and safe (food hygiene standards).
• Help us trial seasonal dishes and specials as the new menu beds in.

About you

• Confident cooking from scratch in a small kitchen (café or similar experience welcome).
• Happy working weekends when we are open to the public.
• Practical, calm under pressure and good with a small team.
• Genuine interest in seasonal, local food (farm or artisan background a plus).
• Food hygiene certificate (or willing to obtain).

• When: Weekend hours (Saturday and Sunday when the farm is open).
• Where: Street Croft Farm, 3 Parsonage Cottage, Herriard, Basingstoke RG25 2PQ.
