Chef in Charge | Farm Shop & Kitchen (Somerset)
Package: ~£30k base + 40% F&B Profit Share + Future Business Equity
Hours: Daytime focus + Occasional Supper Clubs
Location: Rural Somerset (Car required)
Tired of reheating corporate food service specs? Ready to actually cook again?
If you spent your early years mastering classic technique in proper kitchens, but jumped ship to B&I, schools, or care homes for a normal life—we get it. But if you’re sick of corporate red tape, batch cooking, and zero culinary freedom, this is your ticket out.
We’re backing a rapidly expanding Somerset farm shop with massive plans. They need a Sole Chef to take total ownership of their busy café, turn out killer daytime menus, and run with pop-up supper clubs.
What's in it?
- Profit Share: 40% of all F&B profits. The harder you hit it, the more you take home.
- Actual Equity: Hit your stride over 2 years and unlock a stake in the entire farm and retail business.
- Great Life, Great Food: Mostly daytime hours (breakfast & lunch) with full freedom to cook with hyper-local, peak-season Somerset produce.
- Total Autonomy: No specs, no corporate head office—just you setting the standards, building the brand, and calling the shots.
Who we want:
- A seasoned pro with rock-solid classical foundations and corporate discipline (GP control, standards, compliance).
- Fire in your belly and an entrepreneurial streak to drive a growing business.
- Own wheels (it’s deep in the Somerset countryside).
Ditch the corporate machinery, bring your standards, and get back to real cooking with serious upside.
