Marketing Director

The Company

Founded in 2005 after falling in love with the food of this beautiful region of the world, this husband and wife team have led and scaled this unique, aspirational restaurant brand, and17 years later, they have a group of restaurants dotted around the country, serving great value, healthy food that’s cooked fresh in each kitchen daily. They pride themselves on not being a corporate chain, they are a family-run business, and want this to shine through in everything they do – from the food they cook, to the teams they employ and train, to the way they greet and engage with all their customers.

The Role
