| Job description: | I'm looking for a keen and reliable Chef de Partie for this 3 star 18th Century hotel situated in the heart of Melrose. As a CDP within this organisation you'll be provided with exceptional training in a hands on kitchen. There's a culture of from scratch prep, with butchery done to the highest level on site by a team of skilled and dedicated chefs. This isn't a role for someone keen to churn out specced dishes with no care, or for someone who wants to prep the same tasting menu each day all year round. The menu is decided by the seasons and the quality of produce available, with flavour front and centre of each dish served. The kitchen has long held a reputation for developing some of the best chefs on the circuit, and roles very rarely open up within the team. We are looking for an organised hard working chef to cover a section, including occasional breakfasts and pastry shifts. You'll receive excellent training in a kitchen that prioritises flavour and technique above convenience. Everything is made fresh on the premises using the best of local produce. The Hotel is situated within an hour of Edinburgh by train. An excellent place to live and work if you like golf, fishing and walking. This position is available now for the right candidate. |
