This stunning Bib Gourmand awarded Inn on Loch Fyne is looking for an ambitious Sous Chef to assist in their kitchen for the coming season.

There's a breakfast chef returning from a previous season and so you'll only need to take care of the dinner services 5 days a week. The initial menu has been written and training will be provided prior to commencement, however dishes will change throughout the season using the produce available from the vast estate and local farms.

You must have demonstrable fine dining experience and have an eagerness to gain accolades as the Inn has joined the AA rosette scheme.

This is a friendly and supportive environment that would suit a level headed and driven Chef. The accommodation is of a very high standard and close to the Inn. The local community is very welcoming and you'd be part of the family in no time.

Due to the remote nature of this role it would be beneficial to be able to drive.
