Head Chef / Caterer

About Us

Shirehampton Park Golf Club is a friendly, welcoming semi-private members' club set within Bristol. We're looking for an experienced Head Chef / Caterer to run our catering operation and play a key part in the overall member experience.

This is a hands-on, varied role — from the daily golf menu through to weddings, functions and celebrations — suited to someone who enjoys variety and takes pride in a well-run, well-organised kitchen.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide short-order service from the daily golf club menu
• Plan and prepare three-course meals for functions of up to 30–40 guests
• Manage ordering, stock control, costings and budgeting, working closely with Club Management
• Plan menus and functions across a wide range of formats — daily service, buffets, BBQs, carveries, lunches and ad-hoc functions (e.g. Curry nights)
• Maintain full compliance with health & safety and food hygiene regulations
• Recruit, train and supervise kitchen staff
• Keep the kitchen clean, tidy and well-organised at all times, including washing-up
• Take food out to members and guests when required (for daily service)
• Work closely with the Event & Hospitality Manager and Bar Manager to ensure smooth and efficient running of the overall catering department and events.

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience as a Head Chef or Caterer, ideally within a club, hospitality or events setting
• A full range of culinary skills, comfortable moving between formal dining, quick daily service and large-scale functions
• Strong organisational skills, with experience of stock management, costings and supplier ordering
• Up-to-date knowledge of food hygiene and health & safety requirements (relevant certification required)
• A hands-on approach and willingness to work across all aspects of the kitchen, including cleaning and washing-up
• Good people-management skills, with experience training and supervising kitchen staff
• A flexible, member-focused attitude and the ability to work well under pressure during busy periods
