Are you a Sous Chef with strong hotel banqueting experience looking for a role with better hours and a good work-life balance?

We're recruiting for a Sous Chef to join a busy 4-star hotel in Cheshire, working alongside an experienced Head Chef and an established kitchen team.

• Opportunity to lead and develop the brigade
• Excellent benefits

The Role

You'll work closely with the Head Chef to run the day-to-day kitchen operation, delivering high-quality food across the restaurant and a busy events calendar.

The hotel hosts a significant number of weddings, conferences and private events, so previous hotel banqueting experience is essential.

You'll be responsible for:

• Supporting and deputising for the Head Chef.
• Leading the brigade during busy services.
• Delivering food to a consistently high standard.
• Managing restaurant and banqueting services.
• Supporting stock control, ordering and GP.

About You

We're looking for an experienced Sous Chef or strong Junior Sous Chef who:

• Has proven hotel banqueting experience.
• Is confident catering for weddings and large events.
• Enjoys working in a busy, high-volume kitchen.
• Is hands-on, organised and quality-focused.
• Wants a stable role with a better work-life balance.

If you're a Sous Chef looking for a busy kitchen without the usual hotel hours, we'd like to hear from you.
