At Hotel Du Vin fifty percent of all revenue comes from catering sales. In many of our hotels we can be busier in our Brasseries than most local restaurants! This gives our chef brigades a great opportunity to develop themselves within our kitchens. Learning new skills, working in fast paced environments under pressure and sometimes with produce they haven't worked with before.

We offer on the job training in house as well as working with our training provider to offer nationally recognised apprenticeships. If you want to progress your career a HDV kitchen is the place to do it. Four of our Head Chefs have been promoted from within with two starting their journey as kitchen porters.

Responsibilities

• Support the Head Chef by ensuring the team delivers brand standards in a smooth and consistent manner.
• Demonstrate your skills when developing the team beneath you, ideally having worked at this level before.
