A fine dining restaurant in Maidenhead is currently looking to expand its team with motivated and talented individuals.

The Fat Duck, based in High Street, Bray, has announced that it is hiring for new full time kitchen porters to join their ‘fantastic team’.

About The Fat Duck

Founded in 1995, The Ft Duck was opened and is owned by the chef Heston Bluementhal. It is housed in a 16th-century building and although it originally served food similar to a French bistro, it soon acquired a reputation for ‘precision and innovation’, and has been at the forefront of many modern culinary developments, such as food pairing, flavour encapsulation and multi-sensory cooking.

The number of staff in the kitchen increased from four when the Fat Duck first opened to 42, resulting in a ratio of one kitchen staff member per customer.

The Fat Duck gained its first Michelin star in 1999, its second in 2002 and its third in 2004, making it one of eight restaurants in the United Kingdom to earn three Michelin stars.

In 2005, the World's 50 Best Restaurants named the Fat Duck the best restaurant in the world. It lost its stars in 2016 when it closed for renovation, but regained all three the following year.

The restaurant is soon to celebrate it’s 30th birthday on August 16 next year.

Writing online, it states: “The Fat Duck will celebrate its 30th birthday. Heston is inspired, the chefs are excited and the front of house is raring to go, and we want you to join us on a journey into Hestonland – a place full of exceptional cooking, extraordinary flavours and excitingly, deliciously different dishes from the foremost gastronomic magician.”
