Head Chef

£34k - £38k per annum
Full-time


Salary £34,000 - £38,000 + Bonus

Join us at Farmhouse Inns, where we’re big on quality as we are with our portions, which is why our carveries slow-roast our meats for 14-hours, freshly prepare our veg, create fluffy, handmade Yorkies, ruffle-up our perfectly crispy roast potatoes, and bake and hand-decorate our giant cakes in our kitchen every day.

  • Communicate clearly with your team in order to provide high-quality meals to customers on time.
  • Recognise and lead the team as a whole, understanding how to maximise their potential.
  • Maintain hygiene levels and safety regulations in the kitchen to help to guarantee the care of your entire team and visitors.

What you’ll bring to the kitchen:

  • Experience managing a busy kitchen, training and developing a high performing team who constantly exceed targets.
  • Ability to work under pressure in a busy kitchen and getting the best out of your team around you.
  • A keen eye for delivering tasty and well-presented meals to customers each and every time.
  • Skill and willingness to take on and adapt to challenges whilst working in a busy kitchen.
  • Sufficient spoken and written English to perform the role safely and understand allergen controls.
