Overview
Situated next to Snowdonia National Park, Palé Hall is a destination for luxury and culinary excellence. This historic Victorian mansion features 22 bedrooms with plans for significant investment and growth, turning this property into a world class country house hotel. Palé Hall has a great opportunity for a talented and enthusiastic Commis Chef to join our kitchen team. With exciting plans for growth and investment, particularly in our dining choices, this is a great chance for someone who\'s willing to learn and benefit from experience in a Three AA Rosette kitchen that\’s aiming for a Michelin Star. You\'ll have a keen interest in furthering your knowledge of fine dining, with the drive and passion to succeed up the ladder. Under the direction of the senior chefs you\'ll ensure that attractive seasonal food of the highest quality is produced efficiently and consistently. We’re looking for a forward thinking and creative team player who\'ll have a lively input in the menu planning and development process, and show awareness of health and safety and statutory compliance.
About the role
You may not already be working as a chef, we\'re also interested in hearing from people who are passionate about making cooking their career and looking to take the first steps. We\'re willing to train and develop the right people who can demonstrate commitment and the capacity to learn and work hard. One of the AA Five Red Star hotels in Wales, with AA Three Rosettes and the coveted Michelin Green Star for food sustainability, Pale Hall currently offers two contrasting dining experiences. The Henry Robertson fine dining room with tranquil views over the lawns serves our four and seven course tasting menus, and the rustic Huntsman bistro offers more relaxed dining from a traditional la carte menu. Our food is created from locally sourced and sustainable produce with menus changing and developing as we move through the seasons.
