We are currently recruiting for a Sous Chef: passionate about food; enthusiastic about making/breaking records; adaptable; for our seasonal historic Inn.

We have currently held the lease for over 9 years and have developed a sustainable business model – ensuring that (despite being in a seasonal location) we can keep our Chef's in full time employment all year round with an offering that changes throughout the seasons to keep customers visiting us all year round.
