We are looking for a Head Chef for a busy hotel in Essex, covering à la carte dining, bar food, weddings, BBQs, events and banqueting.
This is a great opportunity for either an experienced Head Chef or a strong Sous Chef ready to step up.
The kitchen has a settled structure in place, including a Sous Chef, CDPs, Commis Chef, Breakfast Chef and Kitchen Porters. The hotel has a strong family feel, low staff turnover and many team members have been with the business for over five years.
You will have full autonomy over menus, suppliers and the food direction, with support from in-house systems for menus, allergens and HACCP.
