Full-time | 40–45 hours per week | 5 days from 7
Join an award-winning family business where people stay.
The Original Rosslyn Inn is an independent, family-owned business with a reputation for exceptional food, genuine hospitality and looking after its team.
We're proud to say this is the first time we've recruited for a chef in over four and a half years. That's not because of staff turnover—it's because one of our valued chefs is returning home to Poland after several wonderful years with us. We believe this says a lot about the supportive environment we've created and the people who choose to build their careers here.
If you're looking for a long-term opportunity rather than just another job, we'd love to hear from you.
