Full time chef role
We are looking for a passionate and driven individual to run the kitchen with another part-time chef.
The food is not so extensive and can quite easily run with one person in the week.
This role would suit an experienced chef/sous chef looking to take on responsibility and help drive the business in a competitive environment.
You will be working directly under the company Head Chef who will be designing menus and putting all paperwork in place so being self motivated and able to work alone in a relaxed environment is as important as being able to manage busier periods and direct the flow of service.
