Catering & Hospitality
Agency in Leicester

Same-day cover is often possible in central Leicester because our office and part of the chef bench are based in the city. Across wider Leicestershire the realistic confirmation window is up to 24 hours depending on role, postcode, notice, and travel. We tell you which window applies at booking.

Leicester city centre, Loughborough, Hinckley, Market Harborough, Melton Mowbray, Coalville, and Oadby and Wigston as a minimum. The same office books the wider East Midlands, including Nottingham and Derby, plus Birmingham and the West Midlands. Ring the Leicester line and we will confirm your postcode before you spend time on a brief.

Yes. We supply temporary chefs and kitchen staff to Leicester hotels, restaurants, contract catering sites, and event venues, from kitchen porters to head chefs. We are a temp staffing agency rather than a permanent recruiter, so if you need a gap covered this week, that is exactly what we do.

All Chefs Bay staff are employed on full PAYE, with Right to Work checks completed before any shift. We do not use umbrella companies. Every chef placed into a care home or school kitchen holds an Enhanced DBS check with the relevant Barred List check before day one.

This page is for employers booking staff. If you are a chef, kitchen porter, or kitchen assistant looking for agency shifts in Leicester, register through our candidates page and the team will call you back about current work, pay, and availability.
