Job description

CHEFS OF ALL LEVELS ST ANDREWS & BROUGHTY FERRY, THIS ONE’S FOR YOU

Multiple Roles. Multiple Venues. One Day.

We’re not into bland kitchens, predictable menus or going through the motions. We’re into creativity, high-energy services, bold flavours, and Chefs who genuinely care about what they’re plating.

Sound like your style? Then keep reading.

On 14th May 2025, we’re taking off our Chef whites and turning to Recruitment, and we want to meet Chefs of all levels who are looking to grow their career at one of our standout venues in St Andrews or Broughty Ferry.

About Us

We’re part of Scotsman Group, Scotland’s largest and most diverse hospitality family. With over 50 venues across the country, we bring something special to every shift.

We’re shining the spotlight on six of our most-loved venues. Whether it’s Forgans with its buzzing atmosphere, Mitchells with its farm-to-fork ethos, the relaxed elegance of The Bothy, or The Vic where creativity runs the pass, these venues are at the heart of their communities, and we want you to be part of their kitchen teams.

THE PROCESS

Hit ‘Apply’ and submit your details and a member of our Senior Food Team will be in touch to confirm the Location & Time of your meeting on 14th May 2025. This isn’t your typical interview. It’s a chance to ask questions, get a feel for our venues, and explore which Kitchen is the right fit for you. We’ll talk roles, culture, career paths and everything in between.

Who We Want To Meet On 14th May 2025

We’re hiring for every Kitchen position. No matter where you are in your journey, there’s a space for you here:

• Head Chef – Lead the kitchen with confidence. You’ll run the show, shape the menus, drive performance and bring high standards and high energy.
• Sous Chef – The glue of the kitchen. You’ll support the Head Chef, lead services, and help coach and develop the team.
• Junior Sous Chef – You’ve got the experience and ambition. We’ll give you the platform to step up and own it.
• Chef de Partie – You’re the engine of the kitchen. You know your section inside out and keep quality tight no matter the pressure.
• Commis Chef – Hungry to learn and happy to graft. You’ll be hands-on, soaking it all in.
• Apprentice Chef – No skills yet? No problem. If you’ve got passion, we’ve got the tools to help you build a career.
