Head Chef
Warwickshire
£50,000 per year+ £6k Tronc | 40 Hours | Straight Shifts
Are you a hands-on Head Chef who genuinely cares about cooking, quality and provenance?
We are recruiting for a highly regarded restaurant within a luxury hotel operation in Warwickshire, offering the opportunity to lead a 10-chef brigade and take ownership of an established, food-led operation.
The Role
This is a proper cooking role, not simply a kitchen management position.
The restaurant has a strong whole-animal cooking ethos, using every part of the animal creatively, including cheeks and offal. You'll need to be confident cooking from scratch and passionate about seasonal, sustainable produce.
The open exhibition kitchen means you'll be visible to guests and comfortable engaging with them. There's also an outdoor BBQ during the summer.
You'll be responsible for:
- Leading and developing a 10-chef brigade.
- Creating and costing menus across breakfast, lunch, dinner, hotel and events.
- Maintaining the restaurant's strong reputation within the group.
- Working with suppliers and having influence over product selection.
- Managing food costs, GP and kitchen performance.
- Maintaining exceptional standards while remaining hands-on.
What We're Looking For
- Proven Head Chef experience, or a strong Senior Sous Chef ready to step up.
- Genuine passion for whole-animal cooking and scratch cooking.
- Strong fresh-food and seasonal cooking experience.
- Experience writing and costing menus.
- Confidence working in an open kitchen and engaging with guests.
- Strong commercial awareness alongside a genuine passion for food.
- A hands-on leader who can motivate and develop a brigade.
This is an excellent opportunity for a food-led Head Chef who wants the autonomy to influence menus, suppliers and standards while building on the reputation of an established restaurant.
Applicants must have the right to live and work in the UK. Sponsorship is not available.
