What you'll do

As an Events and Private Dining Head Chef, you'll love what you do and take pride in taking care of our guests:

Oversee all culinary operations within the Events and Private Dining kitchens, ensuring the smooth, efficient running of both outlets throughout each service period.
Lead, supervise, and inspire all cooking personnel, fostering a culture of excellence, discipline, and creativity.
Take full responsibility for daily food preparation and execution, including informal à la carte dining, luxury room service, and The Dorchester’s award-winning afternoon tea.
Collaborate with the Executive Chef and contribute to menu planning, regularly evolving offerings to reflect seasonality, guest preferences, and culinary innovation.
Ensure full compliance with budgeted food and recipe costs, taking ownership of stock control, waste reduction, and kitchen profitability.
Be accountable for staff training, coaching, and one-to-one development, maintaining a well-motivated team and providing consistent feedback.
Oversee food safety and hygiene compliance, ensuring HACCP standards are followed at all times.
Respond to special requests and dietary needs with creativity and care, whether fulfilling bespoke guest orders or catering for special occasions in rooms or suites.
Work closely with front-of-house and operational leaders to deliver exceptional guest service, ensuring a seamless transition from kitchen to table - wherever that table may be.

The items shared are the essence of a day in the life of an Events and Private Dining Head Chef, but we will make sure you are provided with specifics on how we care for our hotel. The operational hours of work are shift-based and we would require flexibility.

What you'll bring
