Head Chef
Stroud
Your kitchen. Your menus. Your opportunity to make your mark.
Our client, a well-established, privately owned country house hotel within the hospitality industry, based near Stroud in Gloucestershire, has an exciting opportunity for a Head Chef to join their team on a full-time, permanent basis to lead and develop their busy kitchen operation.
Put Your Own Stamp on It
One of the biggest attractions of this position is autonomy.
We don't want a Head Chef to simply come in and replicate what's been done before.You'll be encouraged to review, refresh and develop the food offer, from the main restaurant menus through to weddings, conferences, banqueting and events. We're looking for someone who understands their customer, has an eye for presentation and quality and can balance creativity with commerciality.
If you've been looking for a Head Chef position where your ideas will be listened to and you'll be trusted to make decisions, this could be it.
The successful Head Chef should have:
·Previous Head Chef, Senior Sous Chef or comparable kitchen leadership experience
·Experience within a quality hotel, restaurant or events-led environment
·A genuine passion for food, menu development and delivering consistently high standards
·Strong commercial awareness, including food costs, GP, portion control and waste management
·A calm, organised and supportive leadership style with the confidence to bring forward fresh ideas
In this role, the Head Chef will be responsible for:
·Leading, motivating and developing an established kitchen brigade
·Reviewing and refreshing menus across the restaurant, weddings, conferences, banqueting and events
·Maintaining consistently high standards of food, presentation, hygiene and kitchen organisation
·Managing food costs, GP, purchasing, portion control and waste while building strong supplier relationships
·Working closely with the wider hotel team to create a positive kitchen culture and deliver a first-class guest experience
We're looking for a Head Chef with vision, creativity and a calm approach to leadership to take the reins of the kitchen at this charming country house hotel close to Stroud in the heart of the Cotswolds.
·This is an opportunity for someone who wants more than simply maintaining what's already there.
·You'll have the autonomy to put your own stamp on the food offering, refreshing and developing the menus across the main restaurant as well as conferences, banqueting, weddings and the hotel's busy calendar of events.
·With high occupancy, an established kitchen brigade and a kitchen that has benefited from significant investment, the foundations are already in place.
Now we're looking for the right Head Chef to take it forward.
Our client is offering the successful Head Chef a salary in the region of £43,000 - £46,000 depending on experience, plus a performance-related bonus of approximately £2,000 per year and Service Charge/Tronc of approximately £1,500 per year. Benefits also include a 5-day working week, time off in lieu or overtime arrangements for additional hours, company pension, discounted or free food, employee discounts, hotel discount scheme, training and development opportunities, confidential employee support and free on-site parking.
You'll also inherit an established brigade and a modern, well-invested kitchen, with the autonomy to review, refresh and make the food offering your own.
If you are a creative, commercially aware and people-focused chef who can combine high standards with calm, supportive leadership, apply now to chat through the opportunity further.
Don't delay in applying for this fantastic Head Chef opportunity. If you're ready for creative freedom, an established team and the chance to truly put your own stamp on a kitchen, we want to hear from you.
