Job description:

Chef de Partie – Fennel Restaurant, Inverurie

We’re looking for a Chef de Partie to join our long-established team at Fennel Restaurant in the heart of Inverurie.
Now in our 19th year, Fennel has built a reputation for quality, consistency and great service — something special yet friendly and relaxed.

You’ll be joining a tight knit, experienced brigade of four chefs and three KPs. We’re a busy little kitchen, regularly serving up to 200 covers on a Saturday, with Saturdays and Sundays being our core services. We’re closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, and we’re proud of the work/life balance we offer — including the option of a four-day week if preferred.

You will have solid experience in a quality kitchen, a calm and positive attitude, and take pride in cooking honest, well-presented food to a high standard. There’s room to grow, too — our current Sous Chef is looking to step back in the future, so this role could naturally progress. You'll receive all the training and support you need to reach your potential, and to assist us with reaching ours.

Our staff are well looked after and appreciated. Because of this we boast a long serving team with excellent staff retention and little rotation.

What we offer:
      •     £28,000–£34,000 DOE (depending on hours/experience)
      •     Four or five-day week options
      •     Tips shared fairly
      •     Staff meals on shift
      •     Pension scheme
      •     Staff discount
      •     Supportive, friendly, long-standing team (many 10+ years)

We’re a genuine, hands-on restaurant — the owner’s partner even works in the kitchen doing breakfast service on Sundays — and we believe that good food and good people make everything work better.

If you want to be part of a stable, respected kitchen where teamwork matters and your input counts, we’d love to hear from you.

We're a busy restaurant, but with our opening times there's plenty of balance - no risk of 7 day straights as we're closed on Mondays and Tuesdays!
The kitchen is open from:
Wednesday & Thursday 12-8
Friday 12-9
Saturday 10-9
Sunday 10-7
