Stobo Castle Health Spa, Scotland’s only Destination Spa and an award-winning, family-run business, is nestled in the beautiful Scottish Borders countryside just outside Peebles.

We are currently looking for an experienced and reliable Part-Time Breakfast / Brunch Chef to join our established kitchen team.

This position would suit a chef who enjoys working mornings and is looking for a part-time role with an early finish and no evening shifts.

Hours

6:00am – 12:30pm
Part-time position

The role will involve a mixture of weekday and weekend shifts depending on the rota, so flexibility is important.

The Role

As Breakfast / Brunch Chef, you will be responsible for helping us deliver a consistently high standard of breakfast and brunch food to our guests.

Working alongside our Executive Head Chef, Sous Chefs and wider kitchen team, your responsibilities will include:

• Preparing, cooking and presenting breakfast and brunch dishes to a consistently high standard
• Setting up and organising the breakfast section ready for service
• Completing all required mise en place
• Cooking eggs and breakfast dishes confidently and consistently
• Preparing both traditional breakfast dishes and more contemporary brunch-style dishes
• Ensuring dishes are presented neatly and consistently
• Managing your section effectively during busy services
• Catering for dietary requirements and allergens correctly
• Maintaining excellent standards of food hygiene, cleanliness and kitchen organisation
• Ensuring correct food storage, labelling, stock rotation and temperature controls
• Monitoring portion control and helping minimise food waste
• Assisting with preparation for the following day's service
• Working closely with the wider kitchen and Food & Beverage team
• Following all food hygiene, health & safety and company procedures

We are looking for someone who is:

• An experienced chef who is confident cooking breakfast and brunch dishes
• Comfortable working independently and taking responsibility for their section
• Confident with egg cookery and busy breakfast service
• Reliable and punctual – particularly given the early start
• Organised and able to prepare effectively for service

• Attentive to detail and presentation
• Passionate about producing good-quality food
• A strong team player with a positive attitude

Previous experience working breakfast in a hotel, restaurant or similar hospitality environment would be advantageous.

However, we would also be interested in hearing from experienced chefs from other kitchen backgrounds who are looking for a change of pace and would enjoy specialising in breakfast and brunch.

Why This Role?

This could be an excellent opportunity for someone who wants to continue working professionally as a chef while moving away from late evenings and long dinner services.

With shifts finishing at approximately 12:30pm, the position provides the opportunity to work within a professional kitchen while retaining much of the afternoon and evening.

You will become part of an established kitchen team within one of Scotland's best-known destination spas, with the opportunity to contribute to the continued development of our breakfast and brunch offering.
