Head Chef Luxury Highland Hotel £60,000£65,000 A rare opportunity has become available for an experienced and commercially strong Head Chef to take the lead within a prestigious 5-star Highland hotel with a highly regarded 3AA Rosette restaurant.
This is a substantial role overseeing a large and varied food operation within one of Scotlands most established luxury hospitality settings. The property is seasonal in nature, with extremely busy summers and a more refined pace through the winter months, requiring a Head Chef who can confidently manage both high-volume periods and consistently high standards across the business.
The successful candidate will oversee multiple food offerings including:
Award-winning tasting menu restaurant
Busy breakfast operation
Afternoon tea service
Lounge and all-day dining
Dedicated steak restaurant
This role would suit a proven Head Chef from a luxury hotel, rosette, or multi-outlet background who is equally strong operationally as they are creatively.
The ideal candidate will:
Have previous experience as Head Chef within high-end hotels or rosette environments
Be commercially aware with excellent food cost and wage management
Have strong menu development and planning ability
Be a confident leader capable of motivating and developing an established brigade
Thrive in busy, seasonal operations
Maintain exceptionally high standards across all areas of the kitchen
Be organised, hands-on and calm under pressure
The existing kitchen team is already stable and well structured, so this role is ideal for someone looking to step into a respected operation and continue pushing standards forward rather than rebuilding from scratch.
Due to the location, candidates must be genuinely open to relocating to a remote Highland setting and understand the lifestyle that comes with rural hospitality.
Package:
£60,000£65,000 depending on experience
Senior leadership role within a luxury 5-star property
Strong existing brigade in place
Long-term opportunity within an established business
Incredible Scottish Highlands location
This is an outstanding opportunity for a high-level Head Chef looking for their next major move within luxury hospitality.
