This role offers a rare chance for someone to be the custodian of The Bath Priory's next culinary journey.

We seek an outstanding leader, an inspirational figure, and a culinary expert who has achieved 4 to 5 AA Rosettes, with Michelin star-quality food, and the ability to coach and develop others to do the same.

• The focus is on quality food and memorable experiences, cooking for up to 50 covers in our dining rooms and up to 75 in casual settings (outdoor terrace and indoor casual restaurant).
• Located in the beautiful city of Bath, a UNESCO World Heritage site, known as the Great Spa town of Europe, surrounded by local produce, regional suppliers, and our own kitchen garden.

• The hotel is set in a grand Georgian manor from 1835 on 4 acres of gardens, 2 miles from the Roman Baths and 3 miles from the city center.
• Bath has excellent transport links, including Bath Spa train station on the main line between Bristol and London, and Bristol Airport about an hour away, with proximity to the M4 motorway.

The individual we seek:

• An experienced chef with 4 to 5 AA Rosettes and Michelin star standards.
• Passionate, dedicated, enthusiastic, and capable of coaching and mentoring their team.
• A love for cooking, being hands-on at key times, and continuously pushing culinary boundaries.
• A team player and leader, willing to collaborate with the senior management team to enhance The Bath Priory's guest experience.
• Keen to engage with the local community and partners, including colleges and food shows.

Additional perks:

• Competitive salary and benefits.
• Retail and hospitality perks via Perkbox.
• Discounts across our hotels—25% off food & beverage, staff rates from £25 B&B, plus special rates for friends and family.
