Ready for Your Next Big Challenge as a Kitchen Manager?
Looking to Relocate? We’ve Got You Covered with Non-Shared Accommodation!
We have an outstanding opportunity for an energetic and highly organised Kitchen Manager/Head Chef eager to thrive in a high-volume, multi-site pub and restaurant. If you have experience in a branded environment and understand the demands of high-volume, specification-cooked catering, this could be the perfect role for you.
This bustling site sees a surge in activity, particularly during the summer school holidays, with daily covers reaching up to 300 for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. As the leader of a dedicated team of 12 chefs and 4 kitchen staff, you'll oversee the kitchen operations in our all-day dining concept restaurant. Success in this role hinges on exceptional people management skills—you’ll be coaching, training, and leading your team to excellence. With a strong culture of personal development, this position offers ample opportunities to grow and advance.
Key responsibilities include managing your gross profit (GP), overseeing all health and safety aspects of the kitchen, and handling logistics like rotas and ordering. Our menu, crafted by a group development chef, features pub classics, burgers, steaks, fish and chips, sharing boards, and curries. Your role is to ensure that every dish meets our high standards of quality and consistency by following and adhering to specification sheets.
We are looking for someone with a proven background in fast-paced, branded, spec-cooked establishments who can consistently deliver exceptional food. This is a comprehensive role that is both challenging and rewarding, offering a competitive salary and excellent benefits. The restaurant operates seasonally, from March to January, giving you a unique work-life balance and the opportunity to take Christmas off.
What We Offer in Return:
- Competitive salary of £40k per annum (Negotiable based on experience)
- Realistic bonus of £4k
- Relocation accommodation provided
- Paid holiday
