Overview
WildLand is a company with nature at its heart, expressed in every touchpoint for our guests. We focus on exceptional food in its simplest form, using fresh, local and sustainably sourced ingredients. This role supports our Head Chef in delivering honest food with provenance at the core, and offers a lifestyle far removed from urban market demand.
“In nature, nothing stands alone. The whole supports the parts, and at the same time, the parts support the whole. And they do so effortlessly.”
Key Responsibilities
* Implement the culinary vision of the Head Chef in relation to the venue.
* Deliver an interactive “chef’s table” experience for guests by engaging with them at the point of dish finish and presentation, explaining each dish and answering questions.
* Collaborate with the Head Chef to review guest preferences ahead of visits and create dishes that accommodate specific requests, allergies and dietary or faith requirements.
* Discuss with guests on arrival all planned menus and adapt positively to any late changes.
* Partner with the Head Chef in planning supplies, taking into account the remote nature of the venues.
* Build strong relationships with local suppliers to access the highest quality local ingredients.
* Move comfortably between busy and quiet periods, using quieter times for team development and new menu creation.
* Supervise the Chef de Partie and other kitchen staff, ensuring a “one team” approach and collaborative guest experience.
* Support other Wildland venues as required.
* Embrace the ethos and values of Wildland and ensure direct reports do likewise.
* Act as a custodian of our culture, engaging positively with all team members and demonstrating respect for their contributions.
