Chef de Partie - Ballater The award-winning Fish Shop Restaurant in Ballater is recruiting a CHEF DE PARTIE to join the Kitchen brigade. Part of a small team, you will be responsible for a section of the Kitchen ensuring the preparation and delivery of high-quality food to the restaurant. Working closely with the Executive Chef Marcus Sherry, you will support the creation, development and maintenance of an inspiring recipe book using the very best of local and national natural resources and ingredients. Proven experience (working with fresh fish) in a similar role is an advantage. You must have a strong work ethic, a creative flair, and a passion for fresh food and brilliant service with a desire to learn and grow. Honouring and celebrating the history and culture of the Scottish fishing industry, the Fish Shop Restaurant and Fishmonger in Ballater is conceived to provide a friendly and relaxed ambience to cater to the local community as well as visitors that frequent this historic town. The integration of the Fishmonger ensures the "catch to plate" concept, honest to food and process. Both the fishmonger offering and the restaurant menu are dependent upon the daily offerings landed from trusted sources. Thrilled and humbled to have received a Bib Gourmand recognising 'good quality, good value cooking' at this year's Michelin Guide awards, Michelin said: 'The fish and shellfish are invariably of excellent quality and the kitchen has the good sense to let them shine; the cooking of the ingredients is spot-on and any accompaniments are finely judged.' Of the 40 covers, there is a choice of seating; on stools at the bar, around a clinker-built fishing boat table in the corner, or on banquettes in the main restaurant above which hangs a sculpture of a school of fish, woven in wicker by a renowned local artist.
