Why choose our Client?

Surrounded by the rolling Devon countryside with stunning views of the coast too, our client is a luxurious 4 star standard boutique hotel, near Salcombe, with a 2 AA Rosette fine dining restaurant. In addition, the hotel has a large outdoor terrace area which opens seasonally and offers a selection of freshly prepared pizzas. Where possible, ingredients are sourced locally in Devon or grown in the hotel's own kitchen garden.

The hotel is also able to cater for weddings and private events for up to 120 covers.

Staff accommodation is available if required; however, please note that this hotel is situated in a remote location with no public transport links, therefore, this role may be best suited to someone with their own transport.

As the Senior Sous Chef, you will be working closely with the Head Chef to ensure the smooth day-to-day operation of the kitchen, staff recruitment and training, food costs as well as leading a kitchen team of 9 in their absence.

You will ensure that the food areas are set up ready for the day ahead, and that the kitchen team is briefed accordingly, ready for service.

You will be a team player, able to work under pressure and multi-task to deliver great food promptly. In addition, you must have a good eye for detail with the ability to cook dishes to a high standard, using fresh ingredients.

As an experienced chef, the successful Senior Sous Chef will have previously worked to 3 AA Rosette or Michelin level. This role would be perfect for someone looking to step up to Senior Sous Chef, as well as someone already at that level.
