Head Chef

I'm looking for a Head Chef to take the helm of this blooming Brunch and Lunch Cafe/restaurant in the beautiful Stirlingshire Countryside, half an hour from Stirling and 40 minutes from Glasgow.

You'll be working with a team who are keen to develop their reputation amongst the locals, and with an owner who cares deeply about the produce and quality of their operation. Everything is made from scratch using the best of the local larder, and the menu is simple but provides a good variety of Scottish and Mediterranean classics. Flavour and presentation are key, and the team works well together to deliver the small menu quickly and efficiently.

The business has a growing reputation for providing banqueting to the local community, and occasionally you'll be asked to assist with these when the restaurant is closed for exclusive use, but your primary focus will be on the day to day A la Carte offering.

The restaurant is open to customers from 10am to 5pm each day, with the kitchen closing at 3:30pm. This will afford you a rare work life balance, with only occasional evenings to cater for pre booked parties.

Due to the location you must be able to drive, and you must have the right to work in the UK in order to be considered for this role.

The salary of £35k per annum is negotiable depending on experience, but this is a straightforward operation that would suit someone looking to be able to enjoy the Summer evenings or with family commitments.

This mainstay in the heart of Aberdeen is looking for a new head chef to usher in a new era for their food service.

The venue has historically been very busy for their food and are looking to return to previous business levels. The drink service is very popular, and this is a venue that's well known as an easy-going date spot.

The new proposed concept is for small plates, and delicious fresh pastas. The vision is for tasty food that can be served quickly but elegantly.

You'll be working in a small team with very experienced owners who benefit from years of experience in similar establishments.

The hours are negotiable, as are the amount of days off, as they're keen to bring in the right quality of chef to deliver their offering. The salary on offer is also negotiable for the right candidate, and this may suit a Sous Chef looking for their first Head Chef position

The venue is closed 2 days a week, and currently serves up to 40 covers on a saturday, but they're keen to increase these numbers.

This is a live out position, but as the role is in the heart of the City Centre there are plenty of options for public transport.

I'm looking for a Head Chef for this beautiful Inn set a few miles back from the Northumberland coast.

You'll be responsible for the running of the Kitchen and have support from the Chef owner who's looking to step out of the kitchen to focus on elevating the reputation of their already well regarded Inn.

The food style is modern British with Gastro pub favourites done exceptionally well, and a specials board that will give you the opportunity to trial and develop dishes using the local larder.

This role would suit a Head Chef who's comfortable with working in a small team and is keen to showcase their style to a mix of tourists and friendly locals, and personality is going to play a large part in the selection process.

You must be comfortable with working to a strict (but manageable) GP, and should possess excellent hygiene standards and be interested in training your junior team members.
