New Opening - Spring 2027

Looking for candidate to start early 2027!

Great food has the power to bring people together. It's the centrepiece of celebrations, the reason friends stay for another round and often the memory guests take home with them long after they've left. We're looking for a Head Chef who understands that.

• Leading and developing the kitchen team
• Driving food quality, consistency and presentation standards
• Managing stock, ordering and food cost controls
• Supporting recruitment, training and development
• Maintaining food safety and compliance standards
• Creating a positive and high-performing kitchen culture

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a leader who is passionate about food, committed to developing people and takes pride in creating exceptional guest experiences.

Previous experience as a Head Chef or Senior Kitchen Manager is essential.

Why Join The Botanist Lichfield?

At The Botanist Lichfield, great hospitality starts with great people. We create places full of energy, personality and genuine connection - and that only happens when our teams feel supported, valued and able to thrive.

You'll be part of a business that invests in its people, celebrates individuality and gives you the tools, training and support to bring brilliant hospitality to life every day. You'll receive:
