Do you have a passion for food?

Join us in the role of Commis Chef and enjoy the pace
of our busy kitchen as you help to prepare the fresh food that keeps customers
hungry to return.

You’ll be working alongside a first-class team of talented
chefs to create something really special. We take food seriously at Cotswold
Inns & Hotels, so you’ll always be working with fresh, seasonal, local
ingredients too.

For those who can ‘stand the heat’, life in the kitchen is
extremely exciting. It’s fast-paced work but offers a real sense of reward –
especially when diners send their compliments after a memorable meal.

As a Commis Chef, you’ll largely be preparing ingredients to
help the senior chefs work their magic. It’s a great way to develop your
career, allowing you to hone your talent and learn from the best, while making
a great contribution to the success of the kitchen. We also have an amazing apprenticeship programme here at Cotswold Inn's & Hotels so you're provided with an incredible opportunity to learn, thrive and succeed.

You won’t be expected to have exceptional food knowledge
just yet, but it’s crucial you have basic cookery skills and share our passion
for fresh produce.

It’s all about personality. Your potential, your commitment,
and your ability to work under pressure is every bit as important to us as your
knife-handling skills.

Cotswold Inns & Hotels is family and a place where everyone belongs

Our values
• Do things the right way
