What will I do?

This is a hands-on leadership role, leading from the front and setting the standard for your team.

You’ll balance your passion for great food with strong organisation, making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes, and every detail is spot on.

You’ll take ownership of everything leaving the kitchen pass, ensuring its consistently high quality, beautifully presented and delivered to specification — because great food is at the heart of a great guest experience.

Is this the role for me?

• Previous experience as a Head Chef
• Experience working in a hotel or busy, high-volume operation
• Conference, banqueting and events catering experience would be a real advantage
• A passion for quality, standards and attention to detail
• Strong people management and leadership skills
• A solid understanding of GP, stock control, costs and waste management
• The ability to stay calm, organised and hands-on when the pressure is on

If you’re a chef who loves leading from the front, takes pride in exceptional food and knows how to bring a kitchen team together, we’d love to hear from you!
