Head Chef / Business Partner Opportunity - Rollin' Patty Wagon & Walt & Co Events
Manchester | Hands-on role | Opportunity to grow together
I'm looking for someone who loves making exceptional food and wants to help build something they can be proud of.
I'm Walter, founder of Rollin' Patty Wagon and Walt & Co Events. We're a Manchester-based business with a passion for premium grass-fed smash burgers, memorable events and looking after people properly. My ambition is to build Rollin' Patty Wagon into one of the UK's most respected burger brands, and I'm looking for the right person to help make that happen.
Who I'm hoping to meet
Someone with a real love of cooking, an excellent work ethic and positive energy. Someone who takes pride in every burger leaving the grill, enjoys a busy service and cares about the small details that bring customers back.
You might be an experienced head chef, a talented chef ready for more responsibility, or someone with a strong background in street food who wants to help grow a business. What matters to me is your ability, attitude and genuine enthusiasm for what we're building.
I want to work alongside someone who brings ideas, takes initiative and feels comfortable saying, I think we could do this better. Someone ambitious, dependable and willing to put care and effort into making the business stronger.
What we'd be working on together
- Perfecting our smash burgers and keeping quality consistent at every event.
- Leading food preparation and service across our trailer, corporate bookings and future opportunities.
- Building a reliable team and creating a working environment people enjoy being part of.
- Managing stock, food costs and waste with the same care we put into the food.
- Keeping our kitchens clean, organised and operating to high food safety standards.
- Developing ideas that help the brand grow while staying true to what makes our burgers special.
This is a hands-on role. There will be busy grills, preparation, cleaning, loading and travelling to events, alongside the exciting opportunities.
What you can expect from me
You'll work directly with the owner, have a voice in how we develop and see the impact of your work. I'll bring commitment, ambition and a willingness to listen, and I'm looking for that same spirit in return.
Fair pay matters. So do recognition, responsibility and a genuine opportunity to grow. I'm open to discussing the right arrangement with the right person, including what a longer-term business partnership could look like. The responsibilities, pay and any partnership terms would be agreed clearly together.
Experience in busy kitchens, event catering or mobile food operations would be valuable. You'll need strong food hygiene knowledge, the right to work in the UK and flexibility for travel, evenings and weekends around our events.
