The award-winning Fish
Shop Restaurant in Ballater is recruiting a CHEF DE PARTIE to
join the Kitchen brigade.
Part of a small
team, you will be responsible for a section of the Kitchen ensuring the
preparation and delivery of high-quality food to the restaurant. Working
closely with the Executive Chef Marcus Sherry, you will support the
creation, development and maintenance of an inspiring recipe book using the
very best of local and national natural resources and ingredients.
Proven experience
(working with fresh fish) in a similar role is an advantage. You must have a strong
work ethic, a creative flair, and a passion for fresh food and brilliant
service with a desire to learn and grow.
Honouring and
celebrating the history and culture of the Scottish fishing industry, the Fish
Shop Restaurant and Fishmonger in Ballater is conceived to provide a friendly
and relaxed ambience to cater to the local community as well as visitors that
frequent this historic town. The integration of the Fishmonger ensures the
"catch to plate" concept, honest to food and process. Both the
fishmonger offering and the restaurant menu are dependent upon the daily
offerings landed from trusted sources.
Thrilled and
humbled to have received a Bib Gourmand recognising 'good quality, good value
cooking' at this year's Michelin Guide awards, Michelin said: 'The fish and
shellfish are invariably of excellent quality and the kitchen has the good
sense to let them shine; the cooking of the ingredients is spot-on and any
accompaniments are finely judged.'
Of the 40 covers,
there is a choice of seating; on stools at the bar, around a clinker-built
fishing boat table in the corner, or on banquettes in the main restaurant above
which hangs a sculpture of a school of fish, woven in wicker by a renowned
local artist.
