Or a Sous Chef ready to step up.
Full-time.

THE ROLE
You run the kitchen. What we buy, what happens to it, and how you train the chefs under you.

We are produce-led and we cook over wood, so the menu moves with what arrives.

Most of what we do is one good ingredient and the smallest number of steps that gets it to its best.

You lead the kitchen and own the food programme.

WHAT YOU OWN

• The menu through the season

• What we buy, and who we buy it from

• The pass, and the standard things leave at

• Cost of goods, ordering and waste

• Rosters, and the chefs under you

EXPERIENCE WITH

• Wood fire, and knowing how to use it

• Farm produce, and cooking with the seasons

• Growers and small suppliers

• A menu that changes often, written and costed properly

• Teaching a section, not just running one

• Cost of goods, sticking to budgets

WHAT WE ARE AFTER

• You are curious and think creatively

• You would rather a better carrot than a cleverer one

• You coach the kitchen rather than shout at it

• You are willing to grow as the business grows
