HEAD CHEF | IMMEDIATE START
We are looking for an experienced and driven Head Chef to lead the kitchen at a well-established and highly regarded venue in Taunton. This is an exciting opportunity for a talented chef to take full ownership of the kitchen, drive standards, and deliver exceptional food in a quality-focused environment.
The Role
You will be responsible for leading the kitchen team, creating high-quality seasonal dishes, and delivering an outstanding dining experience for guests. The venue has a great reputation and is looking for a Head Chef who can take it to the next level. This is a fantastic opportunity for a chef who values creativity, balance, and a high quality of life. The restaurant is closed at lunchtimes from Monday to Thursday, meaning your core working hours will predominantly be evening-based, offering a more structured and predictable shift pattern.
What We’re Looking For
• Previous experience as a Head Chef or strong Sous Chef ready to step up
• Passion for fresh produce
• Strong leadership and kitchen management skills
• Ability to work under pressure while maintaining high standards
• Produce dishes that balance comfort with finesse – modern interpretations that remain grounded in classic methods.
What’s on Offer
• Immediate start available
• 28 days annual leave, free on-site parking
• Discounted food and drink for friends and family
• Supportive ownership and long-term career opportunity
If you’re a driven chef looking for your next challenge and want to work somewhere you can truly make your mark, we’d love to hear from you.
