Sous Chef - Destination Dining Boutique Hotel
£35,000-£40,000 + TRONC | Live-in on Estate
Cook where the landscape shapes the menu.
Wake up on the farm, work with ingredients reared and grown metres from the kitchen, and be part of a restaurant with genuine destination ambitions.
This is an exceptional opportunity for a Sous Chef - or a standout Senior CDP / Junior Sous ready to step up - to join a serious, forward-thinking team focused on craft, seasonality and creating a dining experience worth travelling for.
Experience in high-end kitchens is essential, with exposure to Michelin Guide or AA Rosette environments highly advantageous.
