The Bakehouse at 124 opened in August 2015 but already feels as though it’s been there forever.  Just over a year since opening & it’s already been nominated for ‘Café of the Year’ in the Kent Life Food & Drink Awards!  It’s beginning to become more than just a bakery: we’ve had pizza nights, pop-up chef nights are planned for later this year and there are other exciting plans ‘in the proving drawer’.    We’re featuring them this week as they have two positions available; the shop manager role could work as a job share with the right applicants. Read on if you knead some dough…(sorry, had to get dough in there somehow!)  More jobs on offer on the Eat Around Tonbridge Jobs’ Board.  Good Luck!
