Sous Chef

Competitive salary | 5 consecutive days with two days off

Starling is an independent bar and restaurant in the heart of Harrogate, known for our brunch, our pizzas, and a growing reputation for both corporate and retail events for up to 100 people. We're looking for a Co-Sous Chef to join our kitchen team and help us to keep raising our service levels, innovation and food quality.

All the main elements of our menu are made in house so a real understanding of basic food preparation will be required but training will be provided to maintain consistency.

The Role

As Co-Sous Chef, you'll play a key role in the day-to-day running of our kitchen, with a focus on:

• Delivering our brunch service and pizza offering from our extensive menu
• Managing prep to keep the kitchen running smoothly and efficiently
• Contributing ideas and creativity to our monthly specials menu
• Running event food service
• Supporting the wider kitchen team across all sections as needed
• Maintaining a five star food hygiene rating

We are a small operation with a skilled team so at times, all elements of kitchen work will be expected.

What We’re Looking For

• A genuine team player who thrives working alongside others
• Self-motivated, with the drive to take ownership of your section and tasks
• Adaptable, comfortable switching between brunch service, pizza, prep, events and menu development as the day demands
• Previous kitchen experience essential; sous chef or senior CDP experience preferred

What We Offer

• Salary up to £32,000pa based on a 45hr week, dependent on experience
• Excellent tronc package
• The chance to genuinely shape our menu and monthly specials, not just execute it
• A busy, independent kitchen where your ideas are heard
