Full job description

Head Chef – Café

Full-time | Weekend availability required.

Hours: 40 hours per week. Daytime shifts only – typically around 7am–4pm, including weekends on a rota basis. There may occasionally be evening events where your presence is required, but this is not the norm.

We’re looking for a Head Chef to lead our kitchen at Stubbings Café. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys being in the kitchen with their team, not managing from the sidelines. You’ll spend the majority of your time (around 90%) cooking alongside the team, setting standards, and keeping service running smoothly.

You’ll need to be confident leading the team and setting standards, but we’re looking for someone who does this in a supportive, respectful way rather than through pressure or confrontation.

The kitchen is fast-paced, food is cooked to order, and the environment can be high volume and at times stressful. It’s also a relatively small workspace, so teamwork, communication, and organisation are key.

Set in a beautiful glasshouse overlooking an 18th-century walled garden, we are a well-established 70-cover café known for fresh breakfasts, seasonal lunches, homemade cakes, and a relaxed atmosphere.

What You’ll Be Doing

Leading the day-to-day running of the kitchen during your shifts
Being hands-on in service – cooking, plating, and supporting the team
Preparing for service at the start of the day and managing close-down at the end
Maintaining high standards of food quality, consistency, and presentation
Creating a positive, supportive kitchen culture where people can perform at their best
Managing performance, rotas, and basic kitchen admin
Following and applying HR processes confidently when needed (e.g. performance issues, absence, conduct)
Ensuring food safety, hygiene, and compliance standards are always met
Working closely with front of house to ensure smooth service

What We’re Looking For

Proven experience as a Head Chef or strong Sous Chef ready to step up
Experience working in a high-volume, fast-paced kitchen
A natural leader who can support, develop, and motivate a team
Able to be firm and make decisions, while still being approachable and fair
Comfortable handling people management issues and following processes properly
Strong organisational skills and ability to stay calm under pressure
Hands-on approach – willing to lead from the front, not just delegate
Passion for fresh, well-prepared food
Level 3 Food Hygiene

What We Offer

Daytime hours – genuine work-life balance compared to typical chef roles
Competitive pay (to be discussed based on experience)
Supportive working environment with a stable team
Beautiful countryside location

This Role Would Suit You If

You’re ready to step into a leadership role but still enjoy being on the tools
You prefer leading through support and standards, not shouting
You’ve worked in busy kitchens and know what “properly busy” actually feels like
You want a long-term role where you can shape a team and make an impact
