CAREERS
We’re a growing food business in the heart of the community we serve, and we are looking to grow our team. Come and join us in sharing our love of all things food, drink and conviviality.
Blake’s Kitchen is a bakery, café & food store in the small Cotswold village of Clanfield. We are passionate about serving great quality food and drink to our customers. We focus on exceptional coffee, fresh in-house made bread & cakes, interesting salads and tasty sandwiches and snacks. We embrace freshness of ingredients, and love to use local artisan suppliers.
In 2020 we opened a second Blake’s Kitchen at Soho Farmhouse in Great Tew. In November 2023 we opened Blake’s Kitchen at The Buscot & Coleshill Estate.
If you are passionate about food & drink, and enjoying it with people, we would love to hear from you.
Let us know if you have experience; but attitude and mindset are more important to us. Positive, friendly, genuine, attention to detail and team & customer focus are characteristics that will definitely impress us.
