Not all chef jobs are created equal.

At Scarlet Kitchen, we do things differently. No endless
split shifts. No 6-day weeks living in the kitchen. Our chefs work a 4-day week
because we believe creativity, passion and exceptional food come from people
who have balance, energy and a life outside work.

You’ll be part of a talented team of inspiring chefs who are
passionate about creating beautiful seasonal dishes using incredible local
ingredients sourced from Cornwall’s farmers, fishermen and growers. Together,
we create bold, flavour-driven food in one of the UK’s most inspiring coastal
hotels.

This is the kind of kitchen where standards are high, ideas
are welcomed and the team genuinely enjoys coming to work. If you’re passionate
about food, sustainability and developing your craft in a luxury but relaxed
environment — you’ll fit right in.

  and presenting beautifully crafted dishes using exceptional local
  ingredients
