Job description

Hello
York

Pearly
Cow York is now on the lookout for our next Chef de Partie

Are
you the kind of chef who knows their ribeye from their rump, can sear scallops
like a sea god, and believes béarnaise is a love language? Then we want you on
our line.

Pearly
Cow is an independent collection of grill restaurants in York, Margate and
Brighton, were we serve up the most indulgent cuts of meat and the freshest
fish in gorgeous settings, where you’ll feel right at home. Our kitchen is
fast-paced, passionate, and just a little bit fiery (in the best way).
Please note: this vacancy is for 30 hours per week (including evenings and weekends)

What
you’ll bring doing:

• Running your own section like a boss —
  whether it’s grill, garnish, or fish (or wherever your skills lie)
• Prepping ingredients with precision and
  flair
• Cooking dishes to spec perfection,
  consistently and calmly under pressure
• Supporting our Head and Sous Chefs in
  keeping service smooth and standards sky-high
• Training and mentoring junior staff
  (because greatness should be shared)
• Keeping your station clean, organised,
  and ready for action

What
you’ll bring to the table:

• A sharp knife and even sharper skills
• Experience in a busy kitchen (bonus
  points if you’ve danced with a lobster)
• A cool head under pressure and a warm
  heart for teamwork
• The ability to plate like Picasso and
  prep like a ninja
• A sense of humour and a love for York’s rich
  history and quirky charm.
• Reliability, punctuality, and a passion
  for hospitality.

If
your aspiration is to work for a company that understands you and trusts your
instincts when it comes to hospitality and you’ve been looking for this kind of
role for a while. Guess what, we’ve been looking for you too!

What’s
in it for you!

• Work in a stylish, intimate restaurant
  that feels more like a home than a collection of restaurants.
• Be part of a small, close-knit team where
  your ideas matter.
• Competitive pay, and plenty of
  guest-powered stories.
• An extra holiday day for your birthday.
• No split shifts
• All breaks are paid.
• Our team have their own team room - with
  their own pantry full of food, to use whenever they like. Grab a snack! Plus,
  get a free meal on shift.
• You can stay/dine with your family and
  friends in any of our hotels/restaurants/spas at a great discount.
• The satisfaction of turning a meal into a
  cherished memory.
