We’re looking for an experienced Head Chef to lead a talented kitchen team within a well-established, high-quality hospitality events & leisure venue.

This is a hands‑on role for a passionate chef who enjoys working with fresh, seasonal produce and has a proven track record of maintaining high standards. You’ll lead the kitchen team, oversee day-to-day operations and have real input into menus and development.

Previous Head Chef or Senior Sous Chef experience is essential as you maintain GP targets, keep a sharp eye on health and safety documentation, monitor stock control and train the staff to the highest standard.
