Penicuik Storehouse is a community owned shop and cafe, run mostly by volunteers and stocking local and ethically sourced products. It is within our ethos to support the local community and provide of a weekly three course nutritious community meal every Wednesday.
We are looking for volunteer cooks to lead the community meal. The cook will be assisted by a number of volunteer kitchen hands. The menu can be decided by the volunteer cook or provided by the Storehouse. We have flexibility of ingredients but aim to always provide a vegan option. The meal caters for around 45 serves. The commitment involves roughly one Wednesday a month from 10am-3pm, plus a couple of hours on the Tuesday afternoon before to prepare ingredients in advance.
Tasks include:
Menu planning (optional)
Leading on food preparation on the day or the day before
Cooking on the day of the meal
Serving food to attendees if not enough volunteers are available to assist
Assisting cleaning up after the meal by clearing and wiping tables, washing dishes and kitchen equipment to return the kitchen to its original state
Experience required
A positive attitude to creating a friendly environment and to helping people
