We have 44 relief chefs out working which is the exact same number of chefs out as we did last year.
If you are not working and have availability, please do send a copy of your CV in and we will chase references as standard.
We can mark you available, but priority is given to those who have had placements via CIS over the summer season.
For existing chefs who have done work all year round would suggest 40 – 60% chance of getting you work over the winter.
If you can also get in touch with your availability for Christmas and New year.
We are still happy to meet chefs here in Moffat, please get in touch to check our availability.
