Why choose our Client?
Do you want to work in a calm, luxurious environment that values quality and work-life balance?
Our client is an award-winning spa hotel that doesn’t just focus on the wellbeing of its guests, but their staff too! Their ethos is about relaxation and well-being, and this extends to their team too. Say goodbye to those long, disjointed days. The chefs here work straight shifts only, allowing you to plan your life with consistency and predictability. You’ll work a sensible and sustainable 39 hours per week, giving you ample time to rest, recharge, and pursue your interests outside of work.
Situated in the glorious Leicestershire countryside, near Melton Mowbray, this family-run business serves good quality, healthy, locally sourced, fresh food. Dining here is a multi-sensory experience that can be enjoyed in either the restaurant or the bar area. It’s a busy operation catering for breakfast of 180 covers, buffet-style lunches for 250 covers, and an average of 50-100 covers at dinnertime.
Please note that accommodation is not available with this role therefore, candidates should only apply if they can commute to the area daily. Due to its rural location, our client does kindly offer a free transportation service from Melton Mowbray and Asfordby areas, should you not drive.
What’s involved?
As an enthusiastic Commis Chef looking to start their next chapter in their catering career, you will work as part of an experienced and supportive team of 23 chefs, who are passionate about ensuring the guest receives good quality, nutritious meals that are a delight to the taste buds!
Having had some previous kitchen experience already, you will be responsible for preparing fresh ingredients, basic salads, and sauces, measuring ingredients as well as plating and presenting meal items, all under the guidance of a more senior chef.
The Commis Chef will keep the stock rooms, fridges, and freezers organised through stock rotation; ensuring all spoiled or outdated food items are thrown away and then replenished when you accept deliveries; checking all ordered items are included and are of the expected quality.
You will maintain high standards of hygiene at all times; making sure that all workstations are sanitised as well as carrying out basic cleaning duties and following the rules of health and safety.
For the right person, this is a fantastic opportunity for someone still in the early stages of their career who wants to learn and progress as a chef in a professional kitchen, using fresh produce.
