Are you passionate about good
food but strung out from long or antisocial hours? Is your culinary imagination
firing but your work-life balance failing? Does splashing about in the surf
make your heart sing but the thought of split shifts make it sink?
We know that kitchen life can be
challenging, and that talented chefs are worth their weight in caviar right
now. So, we’ve taken a good, honest look at our kitchen teams to focus on
what’s important and introduce new, innovative ways of working.
You will also have the
opportunity to work across two of our thriving kitchens in a combined team,
gaining a unique insight into different culinary styles and learning from our
exceptional Head Chef. There’s the Living Space – our place for easy lakeside
eating, meeting and lounging – and Rampsbeck Restaurant, inspired by the
region’s produce – dishes that showcase heritage ingredients and flavours that
occur naturally within the landscape, with contemporary flare.
Coming back to good food, cheeks
glowing from the day’s adventures, is at the heart of the Another Place
experience. We want to inspire our guests with the best seasonal menus, local
produce and contemporary dishes, and give them eating and drinking experiences
to remember.
