The Headland Hotel & Spa, Torquay, Devon
Full-time, Permanent

Annual salary of £45,000.00

Perched in one of Torquay's most spectacular coastal locations, The Headland Hotel & Spa enjoys breathtaking panoramic views across Torbay and has established itself as one of the English Riviera's most popular destinations for both visitors and local residents. The hotel is home to the Romanoff Restaurant, Gallery Lounge & Terrace, popular afternoon teas, weddings, events and year-round leisure guests, creating a vibrant and varied food operation.

Food is a key part of the Headland experience. From breakfast overlooking the bay and relaxed terrace dining to traditional Sunday lunches, steak nights, BBQ events, afternoon teas and wedding banqueting, the kitchen delivers a broad range of memorable dining experiences throughout the year.

This is an outstanding opportunity for a talented Head Chef to take ownership of a well-established food operation and help shape its next chapter.

Creating, developing and delivering seasonal menus that showcase quality ingredients and reflect guest expectations.
Hiring, training, developing and motivating a high-performing kitchen team.
Building a positive kitchen culture and fostering strong working relationships across all hotel departments.
Ensuring exceptional food quality, consistency, presentation and guest satisfaction at all times.
Managing food purchasing through approved suppliers and Procure Wizard.
Managing stock control, ordering, food costs and monthly stocktakes.
Controlling departmental payroll in line with business levels and budgets.
Minimising waste through effective ordering, training and portion control.
Ensuring all allergen, dietary and nutritional requirements are met safely and professionally.
Maintaining the highest standards of food safety, hygiene and health & safety compliance.
Working closely with the Food & Beverage and senior leadership teams to drive guest satisfaction and commercial performance.
Preparing and reviewing kitchen performance reports, including food cost, stock and labour analysis.
Previous experience as a Head Chef, Executive Chef or Senior Sous Chef ready for the next step.
A passion for quality food and delivering exceptional guest experiences.
Strong leadership skills with experience building, coaching and developing kitchen teams.
Excellent knowledge of food cost control, stock management and kitchen financial performance.
Experience delivering weddings, banqueting and event catering is desirable.
A calm and organised approach under pressure.
Strong understanding of food safety, allergens and health & safety legislation.
Creativity, attention to detail and a genuine passion for hospitality.
A hands-on management style and willingness to support the team whenever required.
