A bit about the managers -
Hi, we are Chris and Jess,
We have recently taken over The Hayfield and are looking for a new head chef to join our team.

In that time we have taken on the roles as General Manager and Kitchen Manager, however we are now looking for somebody to take the reins in our kitchen. The right person will have a passion for delivering high quality food and service, know how to manage individuals within a team effectively and ensure they are motivated and driven within their roles, will have great food presentation and standards within the kitchen, will have good understanding of stock control and ordering systems and have a real can do attitude. In return, we will both offer hands on support within your role and development, a competitive pay rate and a great place to work. We also believe that a work life balance is important, especially within hospitality and aim to provide all of our full time employees with a 4 on 3 off structure within their rota.
We look forward to hearing from you soon and hopefully working with you,
