Commis Chefs in Edinburgh, EH1 – Sandwich Platters & Buffet Catering

Job Description

Worker Finder is recruiting Catering Assistants for immediate placement with busy catering and events kitchens across Milton Keynes and the surrounding region. This is a hands-on role suited to candidates with experience — or a genuine interest — in high-volume food preparation for corporate and private clients, including sandwich platters, buffet platters, party platters, finger food catering, deli platters and dessert platters.

Day-to-day duties include preparing sandwich platters to order, assembling boxed lunch catering and grazing-style platters, supporting party food and canape orders, packing buffet delivery runs, and maintaining hygiene standards in a fast-paced commercial kitchen. Assignments cover everything from office lunch catering and afternoon tea platters through to BBQ catering and last-minute catering orders for larger events.

No two days are the same — one shift might involve prepping healthy catering boxes and vegan/vegetarian platters for a corporate client, the next could be pulled into a wedding or private party supporting high tea catering or a full buffet spread. This is a great opportunity for candidates looking to build catering experience while working flexible, well-paid temporary shifts through Worker Finder.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Preparing and packing sandwich platters, wrap platters and deli platters to order
• Assembling party food platters, finger food spreads and canapes for events
• Supporting buffet delivery and boxed lunch catering runs
• Maintaining food hygiene, allergen labelling and kitchen cleanliness standards
• Loading and preparing catering sets for office and corporate lunch orders

What You’ll Need

• A Basic Food Hygiene certificate (or willingness to complete one before starting)
• Previous kitchen, deli, sandwich bar or catering experience preferred but not essential
• Reliable, punctual and comfortable working at pace during peak order times
• Right to work in the UK
