About the role

We love creating exciting dining concepts across our locations and finding talented chefs to take them forward. In this Line Chef role you will be preparing and cooking for a busy restaurant, delivering delight to our guests.

You will need to be resilient, used to high pace/high volume, but someone that thrives under pressure and manages to keep their head and help those that need support, even in the busiest of shifts.

Who we are?

We are a very busy pub in the new forest that pride ourselves on delivering great food out to our guests quickly. We drive high volume, end even higher volume in our peak summer months, but we work together and always keep a positive attitude.

Being a holiday park, we have a diversity of guests coming through our doors but our standards never change, we offer a classic menu with a few twists to reflect the tastes of all that visit our parks.

Being the main F&B destination on site, we serve food from 9am through to 9pm, with that there are a variety of shift types available, but never a split (unless requested!) or and all day.

What you'll be doing

• Assuming responsibility for consistent and prompt food preparation and ensuring all our meals meet our high standards
• Helping the team to comply with agreed specifications of all dishes, ensuring correct portion sizes are followed and waste is closely managed
• Ensuring safe, clean, hygienic and tidy workspaces within the kitchen, always complying with all food hygiene and safety regulations
• Helping to control food margins through effective stock management and knowledge of product specifications

One more thing...holidays happen at holiday times, so you'll need to work your magic on bank holidays and weekends too.

• Level Two Hygiene Certificate
• 1-2 years' experience working as a line cook, commis chef or chef de partie
• Exceptional communication skills
• Good organisation skills and able to identify and solve problems
• A real passion for food, and bags of enthusiasm
