Head Chef, Ambitious Gastro Pub, Inverness-shire

This is a very busy family owned tavern with an excellent reputation for quality fresh produce. The venue has undergone a recent change of ownership with a massive injection of ambition and long term plans to become the best gastro pub in the region.

They're looking for a Head Chef with excellent business acumen and the drive to build upon the reputation whilst not alienating the local clientele. You should have the knowledge to produce showstopping pub classics done to an exceptional degree, whilst also curating a menu that showcases the best of the seasonal scottish larder.

You'll be in charge of a dedicated team, and be keen to develop junior chefs in a supportive environment. The venue will be undergoing a period of refurbishment, with plans to redesign the kitchen next year with your input.

The accommodation on offer would be suitable for a couple, potentially with a small child, but is included as part of the package for the Head Chef regardless of family ties. You'll be welcomed into the local community and will be well compensated for your time.

There's a walled garden available with extensive fresh produce, and input will be welcomed by the team if you require alternatives.

The position is available to start immediately, however for the right candidate a notice period will be respected.

Previous experience at the highest level, and longevity in your recent work history are essential.

You must have the right to work in the UK.
