About this role

The role

We’re looking for an experienced Head Chef to lead the kitchen and take full ownership of the food, from the sourdough starter to the pass. This is a hands-on, front-and-centre role — the oven is the heart of the restaurant, and you’ll be the person guests watch in action — but the remit runs across the whole menu, not just what comes out of it.

You’ll be responsible for

Leading the kitchen day to day — running service, setting the standard for speed, consistency, and quality across every section

Taking ownership of the sourdough, including feeding and managing the starter and maintaining it to spec

Recruiting, training, and developing the kitchen team

Managing stock, ordering, margins, and wastage

Working closely with the Executive Chef on menu development, seasonal specials, and sourcing the best local ingredients

Maintaining food safety, hygiene, and allergen standards

Keeping the kitchen, oven, and equipment properly maintained and spotless, service after service
