Job description

Experienced Chefs (STH-AK-HH-CHEF-2409) Brighton, England

Salary: GBP45000 - GBP65000 per annum + Excellent Benefits + great tips

Experienced Chefs – Something a Little Different

Love being a chef, but not everything that usually comes with being one?

Late nights. Poor work-life balance. Missing every weekend and evening. It doesn't have to be that way.

C2 Recruitment is looking for talented, experienced chefs to join an exceptional independent restaurant in Mid Sussex – and this really isn't your average chef opportunity.

We're recruiting at different levels, with packages ranging from £45,000 to £65,000 depending on your experience and the position.

This is a beautiful, busy 150-cover venue with a serious reputation for fresh, seasonal modern British food. The kitchen operates to Rosette standards, everything is centred around quality produce, and you'll be joining a passionate team that genuinely cares about the food leaving the kitchen.

And you'll still get a life outside of work.

The Bit That Might Surprise You

2.5 days off every week

3 evenings off every week

Finishes around 9.15pm

4.5-day working week

Weekly tips and bonus opportunities

Fresh, seasonal, quality-led cooking

Genuine opportunity for creative input

Excellent opportunity to develop and progress

This Is Proper Cooking

No microwaves. No reheating someone else's menu. No soulless chain kitchen.

You'll be working with fresh, seasonal produce, creating and delivering food to a consistently high standard alongside chefs who take genuine pride in what they do.

Depending on your experience and level, you'll be involved in:

Preparing and delivering high-quality modern British dishes

Working with fresh, seasonal ingredients

Contributing ideas for menus, specials and events

Maintaining exceptional standards of presentation and consistency

Supporting and developing other members of the brigade

Weddings, functions and special events

Stock, ordering, GP and waste control at senior level

Helping create a positive, organised and enjoyable kitchen

Who Are We Looking For?

We're interested in speaking to experienced chefs at different stages of their career.

You might already be a Head Chef looking for somewhere you can have real creative influence.

You could be a strong Senior Sous Chef ready for more responsibility.

Or you may be an ambitious Sous Chef looking for the environment and leadership that will take you to the next level.

Whatever your title, you'll need a strong background in fresh-food restaurants, quality gastropubs, hotels or similar high-standard kitchens.

More importantly, you'll care about food, standards and the people you work alongside.

Own transport is essential due to the location.

A Chef Career Without Giving Up Your Life

Great kitchens demand high standards. They shouldn't demand your entire life.

This is a rare opportunity to work with fantastic produce, cook food you're proud of, earn an excellent package and still have three evenings and 2.5 days away from the kitchen each week.

If you're an experienced chef around Haywards Heath or Mid Sussex and you're wondering whether there's something better out there, we'd love to have a confidential conversation.
