Sous Chef

Sous Chef / Junior Sous Chef - Destination Dining Boutique Hotel
£38,000 + TRONC Live-in on Estate

Cook where the landscape shapes the menu.
Wake up on the farm, work with ingredients reared and grown metres from the kitchen, and be part of a restaurant with genuine destination ambitions.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a Sous Chef or Junior Sous - or a standout Junior Sous / Senior CDP ready to step up - to join a serious, forward-thinking team focused on craft, seasonality and creating a dining experience worth travelling for.

Experience in high-end kitchens is essential, with exposure to Michelin Guide or AA Rosette environments highly advantageous.

• Live and work on a working farm - a genuine lifestyle role
• Collaborate with a highly respected Head Chef and Executive Chef

Package

About you

If you want your next role to feel like a step into something meaningful - not just another service - this is a rare opportunity.
