What We're Looking For:
* A minimum of 3 years' experience as Head Chef or Senior Sous in a high-quality hotel or restaurant
* Proven ability to lead, develop and energise a team
* Financial and operational awareness (ordering, rotas, stock control, margins)
* Passion for local, sustainable, and seasonal produce
* A guest-first mindset – you know food is central to the guest journey
* Food Hygiene Level 3 (or above) – naturally
