Job description

As Chef De Partie with Artfarm you will be responsible for a section of our amazing open fronted kitchen ensuring the preparation and delivery of high-quality food to our fantastic Italian restaurant Da Costa, Roth Bar, outside catering and events. You will work with the Head Chef to create, develop and maintain our inspiring menu celebrating the very best of produce from our own onsite farm and walled garden. You'll be surrounded by a team with a passion for fresh food and brilliant service fuelled by a desire to learn and grow. We strive to provide great hospitality and go beyond for guests, our team and the community as we celebrate our reputation for cooking on open fire with produce from our very own onsite farm and walled garden. This is what we've been doing for years and we couldn't be more proud.

Da Costa has been named for and inspired by Artfarm co-founder Iwan Wirth's maternal grandfather, who originated from the small mountainous village of Rivamonte Agordino in the Veneto region of Northern Italy. He emigrated to Switzerland in the early 20th century and opened a restaurant much loved for its simple, honest fare. A century later, and some 800 miles from that first restaurant, Da Costa continues this glorious culinary adventure. The menu is an exploration of traditional northern Italian recipes featuring an array of antipasti, homemade pastas and risottos and daily specials cooked over fire. Using freshly grown seasonal ingredients from the walled garden and surrounding area, our dishes blend the best of both words - quintessential Englishness with Italian culinary flair. About Artfarm Artfarm is a one-of-a-kind independent hospitality company founded by Iwan and Manuela Wirth. Renowned for developing and reinventing distinctive sites including the award-winning Fife Arms Hotel in Braemar, Manuela restaurant in Los Angeles, and Roth Bar, Da Costa and Farm Shop in Somerset. Artfarm uniquely brings together art, community, education, people and place.
