Job description
If you're tired of being stuck in a stuffy kitchen and cooking towards the same menu items every day, this opportunity might be exactly what you need. No workday is ever the same as the next here!
As our sous chef and tutor, you will juggle various responsibilities, from coming up with and executing inventive menus for our multiple-courses dinners and lunches, to teaching cookery courses and cooking demonstrations. Be prepared to think on your feet and get creative with whatever delicious produce is available from the farm and our wonderful local suppliers, as we work so closely with the land that menus change daily.
Due to the nature of our events calendar, your work pattern will vary, but you can expect to mostly work in the daytime, 5 days a week and only one or two evening shifts per week.
You will be working in close collaboration with our head chef to co-lead our small but diverse kitchen team, managing day to day operations and organisation such as ordering and communicating with suppliers.
