Why choose our Client?

Our client is a quirky, art deco style luxury hotel in South Devon, situated on its own private tidal island. Accessible via a sea tractor when the tide is in, this beautiful property has a fantastic reputation, breathtaking views, and is steeped in history and stories.

Serving award-winning food where ingredients are all sourced in Devon, diners are treated to a choice of 2 fine dining restaurants: a formal main restaurant or a more relaxed seafood restaurant.

The team here has a real passion and drive to serve the best, high-quality food around and are looking for like-minded individuals to help raise the bar even further!

What’s involved?

As a Sous Chef here, you will have previous fine dining experience and a genuine passion for using spectacular high-quality, local ingredients. You will have the drive and determination to constantly strive for excellence for both yourself and the team, really putting the hotel on the map.

You will support the Executive Chef with the general day-to-day running of the kitchen, as well as leading the kitchen team in their absence. Providing guidance to junior kitchen staff members, you will assist with supervising the kitchen team while also being actively involved in the preparation, cooking, and plating of high-quality dishes across both hotel restaurants – always ensuring consistent high standards. You will have a keen eye for detail in the food you create and be able to stay calm under pressure.

You will work with the Executive Chef to maintain kitchen organisation and staff training, as well as assisting with menu creation.

Previous high-end fine dining experience is required for this role, along with a background in preparing and cooking fresh ingredients.

Please note: due to its remote location, this role may be more suitable for someone with their own transport, as public transport in the area is limited.
