We’re looking for a creative, detail-driven Development Chef to join our team and help shape standout menus for leading hospitality brands across the UK.


This role is ideal for a hands-on, client-facing chef with a passion for development and a knack for turning ideas into fully costed, operationally sound dishes.


What You’ll Do

• Bring creative concepts to life through recipe development and kitchen testing


• Work directly with clients – from brief to presentation and training


• Lead development sessions, tastings, and team workshops


• Ensure dishes are costed, scalable, and kitchen-ready


• Travel to client sites across the UK (and occasionally internationally)


What You Bring

• Experience as a Development Chef, ideally across QSR, casual dining, pubs or restaurants


• Strong culinary background with a precise and practical approach


• Confidence in client settings – from pitching ideas to leading cook-ups


• Flexibility, curiosity, and a love of all things food


• The right to work in the UK and ability to travel


Why Egg Soldiers?

We’re a specialist food innovation agency working with everyone from global brands to indie operators. If you love problem-solving, creativity, and collaboration – we’d love to hear from you.
