About the job

Are you interested in gaining work experience and earning money alongside your academic commitments? Eden Crepes are offering part-time paid opportunities for students at to work at our traditional mobile creperie at exclusive private events in your area. This highly entrepreneurial, independent and flexible job easily fits in around academic commitments, and can be relied upon for work during academic holidays (especially in the summer). We offer a competitive wage of £16 per hour. Full training would offered before starting any event.

Eden Crepes is a family business run by a network of friends across the country. My grandmother, Eden, used to live in Provence where she ran a small creperie in her spare time catering to the locals in her village. Long story short, my friend Sam and I were inspired by Eden to create our own crepe stall here in the UK. We use all her original equipment in our custom-built crepe trailer and ‘pop-up’ creperie gazebos, and we follow in her lead in caring about the environment, which is why all our services are 100% plastic-free, and our ingredients are all sustainably sourced.

We bring the freshest take on the traditional French crepe with a menu of over 30 sweet and savoury crepes, using Eden's signature French batter, updated to include a range of gluten-free and vegan options as well. That’s everything from belgian chocolate and maple syrup, to delicious savoury crepes, such as our 'Crepe Complete' - a combination of mature cheddar cheese, West Wiltshire ham and fried egg.

We started at UCL during our time studying there, opening our first branch and employing local students to run the stall. Since then we have been honing our trade for over 7 years, and have developed an extensive network of venues and events allowing us to cater at everything from country house weddings, corporate events, to universities events at places like UCL, Bristol, Nottingham, Oxford, Cambridge and Durham. We have found that our creperies works well at pretty much any venue, and we pride ourselves on bringing a warm and friendly atmosphere to all our events.
