Global Generation is a youth education charity that operates a moveable vegetable garden and cafe on the King’s Cross development site. We use land-based activities and the metaphors of ecological and cosmic processes to support building community between each other and the natural world. We primarily work with local young people, businesses and families in King’s Cross as well as at our campsite in Wiltshire. We combine activities such as supporting bees, carpentry, urban food growing, cooking, and eating together with dialogue, story, creative writing, silence and stillness. These practices help us to create the conditions for people to come together in a fuller and more connected sense of who they are and what they are a part of and from that space, to support them to practically contribute to ecological and social change.
When people think of skips they think of construction, building and dirt. We didn’t. We thought less rubble and more rhubarb. That’s why we started using skips to farm food that, like us, is locally grown. So pop over and say hi. No hard hat needed. About the opportunity We are looking for creative, dedicated and passionate Chefs to enter into our pool of freelance Chefs. As one of our freelance chefs you will be responsible for producing and working on events that are taking place in the garden and beyond. These can range from cooking lunch for a workshop for 20 guests over being responsible for one of our street food stations during garden events with 100+ guests to taking our cargo bike out to cater for larger events on the King’s Cross site The Skip Garden Kitchen acts both as a commercial enterprise producing high quality food and service as well as an important learning platform for young people. Summer is a busy time for us with many events in the garden and beyond. We are looking for bright, talented and friendly event chefs to help us execute our events to the highest standards. You could be taking the food bike out to events around King’s Cross, catering for weddings, private dining and summer parties.
