Service Chef

Lost & Found is a thriving duo of award-winning restaurants serving local, fresh seasonal produce situated on the North Coast of Ireland, with locations in Coleraine & Portstewart.

And most importantly, do you have a can-do attitude, with a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and of course…a bit of craic?

Then we can’t wait to hear from you!
