Head Chef – £40,000 + Bonus + Spacious 3-Bed Flat – Flagship Site Under New Management

We are searching for an exceptional Head Chef to take charge of our flagship site, which is under new management. This is a high-volume, fast-paced kitchen, generating over £20,000 in weekly food sales, with a hugely popular carvery service.

With a competitive £40,000 salary, performance-based bonus, and a spacious 3-bedroom flat included, this is an incredible opportunity for an outstanding leader to take the reins and drive real change.

The Role:

• Lead and develop a large brigade of 10+ chefs, instilling structure, discipline, and high standards.
• Work closely with senior management to drive improvements, increase efficiency, and elevate the food offering.
• Oversee all aspects of kitchen operations, including stock control, compliance, and cost management.
• Maintain exceptional food quality and hygiene standards, ensuring consistency even in a high-pressure environment.
• Shape the kitchen culture, inspiring and motivating the team to meet and exceed expectations.

About You:

• Must have previous experience as a Head Chef or Kitchen Manager in a high-volume setting—this is not a first-time Head Chef role.
• A natural leader with the confidence and skill to take control of a large team.
• Strong business acumen, with an ability to manage costs, boost efficiency, and contribute to the overall success of the venue.
• Hands-on approach—not just a manager, but a chef who leads from the front.
• Passion for delivering consistently high-quality food, with particular expertise in carvery service.
• Exceptional organisation, communication, and problem-solving skills.

What’s in It for You?

• £40,000 salary + performance-based bonus.
• Spacious 3-bedroom flat included – a fantastic live-in opportunity.
• A chance to take full ownership of a flagship site and make a lasting impact.
• Support from a forward-thinking management team investing in the future.
• A high-energy, rewarding working environment with genuine career progression opportunities.

Due to the generous salary and live-in package, we are looking for an exceptional candidate who can truly transform and lead this kitchen to success.
