Looking for a chef job that affords you a decent work/life balance, while enabling you to work with quality produce in a small, independently run kitchen? Then this is the role for you.
We are open Tuesday-Saturday, meaning at least 2 days off a week (but usually works out as 3). Yes, being available for the weekend services is a requirement, but the rest of the week can be open to discussion with our Head Chef.
We are a beekeeper owned bar & restaurant, so using seasonally available produce and cooking quality food is at the very heart of what we do.
Start date is ideally end of June, but this can be flexible for the right candidate.
