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
