Why choose our Client?

Surrounded by beautiful manicured gardens and woodland, our client is a 4-star hotel in a stunning Victorian mansion house. Situated conveniently between Bracknell and Wokingham in Berkshire, this magnificent building makes for the perfect wedding and conference venue as well as offering diners a variety of outlets to sample some of the finest innovative and modern dishes; all lovingly created in-house, using local and seasonal produce.

Please note, staff accommodation is not available with this position, therefore, you must be able to commute to the Wokingham area daily.

What’s involved?

As a Chef de Partie, you will work as part of a team of 7 chefs, contributing to the overall success of the restaurant, outlets, and C&B operations following company standards. You will work to recipes, being responsible for the preparation, cooking, and presentation of dishes whilst ensuring consistency in the section you’re working on. You will also assist in other sections when required and will help in the training of junior chefs you work with.

On average, you can expect to cater for 25-30 covers per night during the week in the main restaurant, with numbers rising at weekends. Conferences, events, and weddings can be catered for up to 500 covers in their dedicated, modern events venue. With this in mind, the successful Chef de Partie should be an experienced chef with previous C&B experience.

As an experienced chef, you will demonstrate excellent knife skills and proper food handling procedures at all times, properly wrapping, labelling, dating, and storing all food items in their correct areas. You will ensure your workstation is kept clean at all times during service, and be an organised individual, able to multi-task and work under pressure, as well as working to deadlines and targets set.

A positive ‘can do’ attitude is essential, as well as the ability to work both as part of a team and alone.
