These host a wide range of people, including those with low incomes, long-term mental or physical health issues, older people with dementia, and various school and community groups. While we receive some funding for these classes, we also need to generate additional income to keep the kitchen running.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To do this, we offer <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bhfood.org.uk\/events\/?filtered=cooking-classes\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">paid for evening and weekend cooking classes<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">led by <a href=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/chef-jobs-brighton-hove\/\">local chefs<\/a>, cooks\u00a0 and restaurateurs. These courses cover a variety of cuisines from around the world and also teach specific skills like bread making, cake decorating, and patisserie.Our classes are fun and relaxed and\u00a0 finish with a sit-down meal around our communal dining table. The kitchen is also available to hire for private events, such as birthday parties, supper clubs, team building events, recipe development for restaurants and many community groups use our space for their own events.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to our community&#8217;s support through buying tickets for our events, our 60+ volunteers giving their time and chefs giving their expertise we have hosted over 1000 sessions helping to tackle social isolation and promote healthier eating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is your role at the Brighton Community Kitchen?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I manage the kitchen which involves supporting the staff team, freelance chefs, our team of volunteers , looking after\u00a0 the venue and\u00a0 day to day operations of the school, ensuring it runs smoothly,\u00a0 planning new courses and <a href=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/brighton-events\/\">events<\/a>, managing the budget and fundraising.

A key aspect of my job is to forge connections with\u00a0 community groups and partners to work towards our sustainability as a social enterprise.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have made lots of lovely friends who support us across the hospitality and small local business sector. <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In some way we experience similar challenges so it&#8217;s great to be able to connect and\u00a0 collaborate and support each other. Some of my mates think I sit around eating food made by lovely people all day which is a percentage of my job which i\u2019ll always enjoy but it&#8217;s equally about cleaning out a dishwasher with an old toothbrush.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17709\" src=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Jo-Glazebrook-at-Brighton-Community-Kitchen-.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1889\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do you like most about working at the Community Kitchen?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I love the unique combination of hospitality and community that our kitchen provides.\u00a0 Since we have opened we have seen\u00a0 thousands of people share good food, and conversation around our long dining table. My favourite part is the sense of community that forms\u2014not just among our guests but also with our amazing volunteers, who range in age from 16 to 80. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone brings a curiosity about food and life and culture\u00a0 and we learn so much from each other.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When people walk through our door with an open mind and a readiness to have a good time, it makes our work feel effortless and joyful. We&#8217;re not just teaching cooking; we&#8217;re creating a space for people to make new friends, share stories, and simply feel good. I&#8217;ve spent my career working in both hospitality and the community sector, and this role is the perfect combination of both, which is why I love it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all have our own sense\u00a0 of what personal achievement\u00a0 feels like in the kitchen and we get to see all versions of it here so when someone says that since coming on one of our community cookery courses their kitchen confidence has <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018transformed\u2019 or that they now feel \u201cmore able to share meals with others\u201d\u00a0 we feel like we have done our jobs properly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You work with a variety of well known chefs and suppliers in Brighton, tell us more.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We work with a <a href=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/brighton-hospitality\/\">wide variety of chefs and cooks from across Brighton and Hove<\/a> to deliver our income generating <a href=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/cookery-classes-brighton-hove\/\">cookery classes<\/a>, many of whom have donated their time to do fundraisers for us. It is so nice hearing their food stories and I love that we can learn and teach recipes inspired\u00a0 from families and homes across the world, and also what to do with 20kg of surplus cabbages. We love to bridge the gap between community organisations and the hospitality industry, both have so much to learn and gain from working together. We can help tackle food waste, share knowledge with our community, feed people and bring people together over a shared meal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17710\" src=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/SM-CharlotesMacaronClass_CommunityKitchen-07-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1096\" height=\"731\" srcset=\"https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/SM-CharlotesMacaronClass_CommunityKitchen-07-1.jpg 1096w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/SM-CharlotesMacaronClass_CommunityKitchen-07-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/SM-CharlotesMacaronClass_CommunityKitchen-07-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/restaurantsbrighton.co.uk\/jobs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/SM-CharlotesMacaronClass_CommunityKitchen-07-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1096px) 100vw, 1096px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We buy the majority of our food for the kitchen and we get some surplus from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.infinityfoodswholesale.coop\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Infinity Foods Wholesale<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/fareshare.org.uk\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">FareShare <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which is great as it enables us to show people how to adapt recipes and be spontaneous with ingredients. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We also use <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrub.london\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shrub<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for our fresh produce, vegetables from our community growing spaces,\u00a0 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/brightonpermaculture.org.uk\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brighton Permaculture Trust,<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.butlers-winecellar.co.uk\/?srsltid=AfmBOoq6QBxH8gjCUv_zs2NrVSyI2EEmAbRNfynjNIhVYcI1btiSRUEI\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Butlers Wine Cellar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.barfieldsbutchers.co.uk\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Barfields,<\/span><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/bhfood.org.uk\/sussex-grazed\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sussex Grazed, <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brighton-fish-sales.co.uk\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BNFS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
