Job description

Breakfast Chef | 2 AA Rosette Hotel | Faringdon, Oxfordshire

£30,000–£32,000 | Daytime Hours | No Evenings | Approx. 6:30am–3:00pm | Flexible Working Pattern

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Breakfast Chef to join the kitchen team at a highly regarded 4-star, 2 AA Rosette coaching inn in Faringdon.

This is particularly attractive for a chef looking to move away from late finishes while still working with fresh, quality produce in an established hospitality environment.

The Venue

This historic coaching inn combines 14 individually designed bedrooms with an award-winning restaurant, traditional pub and wine and cocktail bar. The kitchen focuses on fresh, seasonal produce, with menus built around quality British ingredients and local suppliers.

The Role

The Breakfast Chef will take responsibility for breakfast service before supporting preparation and lunch service where required.

• Expected working pattern Wednesday to Sunday
• Approximately 6:30am–3:00pm
• Two 20-minute breaks or one 40-minute break
• No evening shifts
• Working pattern can be adjusted around the right candidate

Breakfast service runs Monday–Friday 7:30am–10:00am and Saturday–Sunday 8:30am–11:00am.

The Package

• £30,000–£32,000 base salary
• Daytime hours with no evenings
• Approx. 6:30am–3:00pm shifts
• 2 AA Rosette kitchen
• 4-star hotel environment
• Flexible working pattern for the right chef
• Fresh, seasonal cooking

The Ideal Candidate

This would suit a Breakfast Chef, Chef de Partie or experienced breakfast cook who is comfortable working independently and maintaining strong standards during a busy breakfast service. Experience in fresh-food hotels, restaurants, inns or quality gastropubs would be particularly relevant.

Why This Role?

The major attraction is the working pattern. It offers a genuine chef role within a 2 AA Rosette operation without the usual evening finishes, making it a strong option for somebody looking for a better lifestyle without leaving quality hospitality behind.
