At the helm is a classically trained chef with an impressive pedigree, including time spent in some of London’s most influential Michelin-starred kitchens, alongside several years leading their own acclaimed restaurant before relocating to East Sussex.

Their food is thoughtful, restrained and deeply rooted in place — and they’re passionate about mentoring and developing their team.

• Be expected to work on all sections of the kitchen
• Have a great attitude and willingness to learn new skills
• Have solid experience of working in a high-quality kitchen, and should be experienced in running your own section
