Set on a beautifully restored 400-acre estate in the Hampshire countryside, just outside of London, this unique destination combines sustainability, craftsmanship, and creativity across hospitality, farming, and food. The kitchen sources much of its produce from an on-site bio dynamic market garden, with chefs regularly touring the farm for inspiration from the fruits, flowers, and herbs growing throughout the seasons.
Our client is currently seeking a Pastry Demi Chef de Partie to join their passionate and dynamic pastry team.
