Someone who can lead through our teams, to engage them and set attainable goals; someone that finds solutions to problems and communicates well with both management team as well as the supporting team members. You will need to be resilient, used to high pace/high volume, but someone that thrives under pressure and manages to keep their head and help those that need support, even in the busiest of shifts.
Who we are? We are a very busy pub in the new forest that pride ourselves on delivering great food out to our guests quickly. We drive high volume, end even higher volume in our peak summer months, but we work together and always keep a positive attitude. Being a holiday park, we have a diversity of guests coming through our doors but our standards never change, we offer a classic menu with a few twists to reflect the tastes of all that visit our parks. Being the main F&B destination on site, we serve food from 9am through to 9pm, with that there are a variety of shift types available, but never a split (unless requested!) or and all day.
What you’ll be doing: You will be in the thick of the action with your team, ensuring that meals are prepped, cooked and served to our exacting standards, from the simplest salad to the seasonal specials. This includes:
* Assuming responsibility for consistent and prompt food preparation and ensuring all our meals meet our high standards
* Helping the team to comply with agreed specifications of all dishes, ensuring correct portion sizes are followed and waste is closely managed
* Ensuring safe, clean, hygienic and tidy workspaces within the kitchen, always complying with all food hygiene and safety regulations
* Helping to control food margins through effective stock management, knowledge of product specifications and team coaching
We need someone who can lead and inspire a busy kitchen team; someone who understands that food is central to a happy holiday. Someone who is driven, is passionate in delivering standards and enjoys the camaraderie of teamwork is essential for this role; we get busy, but we never forget why we love what we do. We are looking for an experienced chef who is an enthusiastic team player and can demonstrate the following:
* Level Two Hygiene Certificate
* 1-2 years' experience working as a line cook, commis chef or chef de partie
* Exceptional communication skills
* Good organisation skills and able to identify and solve problems
* A real passion for food, and bags of enthusiasm

We embrace diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities. We love that everyone comes from different backgrounds, allowing us to grow and inspire each other.
