This is an exceptional opportunity for a skilled Kitchen Manager who is looking to showcase their creative skills.
Who are we?

* Implementing all legislative measures and administrative requirements related to Food Hygiene, licensing, and team collaboration and respect.
You will lead by example, setting high standards for your team and motivating, coaching, and supporting them to excel.
Note: Holidays are scheduled during holiday times, and dining extends into the night, so flexibility to work bank holidays, evenings, and weekends is required.
