Chef – Hearwood Arms, Northallerton
The Tickle Toby Inn is looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Chef to join our team.
We’re looking for someone who is confident in the kitchen, reliable, organised and keen to play an active part in developing our food offering.
This isn't just a position for someone to come in and cook the same dishes every day. We want someone with ideas who can work closely with the Manager and existing team to develop menus, introduce new dishes and help us continue improving the food side of the business.
The role will include a mixture of morning and evening shifts, so flexibility is important.
Key responsibilities include:
- Preparing and cooking food to a consistently high standard
- Working a mixture of morning, daytime and evening shifts
- Helping develop and refresh our menus
- Creating specials and seasonal dishes
- Working closely with the Manager on the direction of the kitchen
- Working effectively alongside the existing kitchen and front-of-house team
- Preparing for busy services and maintaining an organised kitchen
- Monitoring stock levels and helping reduce unnecessary food waste
- Maintaining portion control and food consistency
- Ensuring excellent standards of food hygiene and cleanliness
- Following all food safety, allergen and HACCP procedures
- Helping with ordering, stock rotation and kitchen organisation
- Contributing ideas for events, Sunday lunches, match days and other special menus
- Helping us build a food offering that customers want to return for
What we're looking for
Previous professional kitchen experience is preferred, along with someone who can remain calm and organised during busy periods.
More importantly, we're looking for someone who is reliable, motivated and genuinely interested in food. You'll need to be comfortable working independently when required while also being a strong team player.
We want someone who isn't afraid to bring forward new ideas and who takes pride in the food leaving the kitchen.
What we can offer
You'll have the opportunity to have real creative input into the menu and work closely with management as we continue developing the food side of Tickle Toby Inn.
We're looking for somebody who wants to become an important part of the team rather than simply fill a kitchen shift.
