About you…
We’re looking for experienced chefs who, as well as having excellent cooking skills, have a passion for innovation and fresh food, a good head for business and will be used to slotting in with existing teams to support them in achieving their goals.
You may have experience as a Sous Chef, Line Cook, Chef, or have specialised in pastry, however all-round kitchen experience in the hospitality sector within a similar, premium fresh food environment is essential.
