The Mowbray Kitchen is made up of a small team of chefs who create creative feasting for our very busy schedule of events across two venues - soon to be three...
We have a fantastic opportunity for a passionate chef to join our team! Rock & Star Ltd is a growing collection of award winning, unique event venues in Sheffield.
Each of our venues is slightly different, but brilliant food is always at the forefront of everything we do. We are passionate about creating memorable feasts for once in a lifetime occasions - so many of our couples rave about their experience with us and it’s an honour to be part of it! It’s also a total pleasure to host important corporate clients and prepare a wonderful dinner to celebrate anniversaries, retirements and product launches.
Our chefs are from restaurant backgrounds, rather than mass catering and this is reflected in our food. We use fresh ingredients and will not compromise on quality. Our feasts are served up on sharing plates & platters for truly special events - which also means that we have time to prep & plan - no hectic dinner services or slow nights!

The Mowbray has been operating since 2018 - the big sister to the Chimney House and the location of our commercial kitchen. We make almost everything from scratch; bread, cakes, pickles & preserves. The Mowbray is a grand & unique dining hall where we host opulent weddings & events.

Mow’s Coffee is our little coffee hangout in the centre of town. We make some of the cakes & bakes for Mow’s and plan to expand in the future!
The Victoria is a work in progress - we’re hoping to be up & running towards the end of this year! A newly built commercial kitchen will become our flagship, and will offer us a great opportunity for creative expansion into different styles of food. The Victoria will be a different kind of venue to The Mowbray & Chimney House and we are SO excited to bring a new chef on board to involve with the growth of this new venture!
