Want to put your own stamp on a food-led kitchen? 

We're looking for an enthusiastic Head Chef to lead the kitchen at a unique destination venue in Ely.

 This is a great opportunity for a genuine foodie who loves quality ingredients, homemade food and creative cooking.

 What's on offer?

  • Real autonomy in the kitchen 
  • Freedom to develop your own ideas and dishes
  • Quality, homemade and artisan food
  • Varied events, buffets and private parties
  • Friendly, casual working environment
  • Strong opportunity to make your mark

 

The Role

 You'll take the lead on the kitchen operation and have plenty of scope to shape the food offering.

 

From the day-to-day menu to events, buffets and parties, you'll be responsible for delivering consistently high-quality food across a varied operation.

 

You'll lead and support the kitchen team, maintain standards and bring fresh ideas to the table.

 

This isn't a role where you'll simply follow someone else's menu. 

You'll have the freedom to be creative and develop an offering you're genuinely proud of.

 

About You 

We're looking for an experienced Sous Chef or Head Chef who is ready to take ownership.

 You'll need: 

  • Proven experience in a busy professional kitchen
  • A track record of producing consistently high-quality food
  • Strong leadership and communication skills
  • A genuine passion for food
  • Creativity and plenty of ideas
  • The confidence to lead a team
  • A hands-on approach

 

Most importantly, you need to be a genuine foodie who cares about what goes on the plate.

 

The Opportunity

 

This is a unique venue with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere and a serious passion for quality food and drink.

 

With sociable kitchen hours, creative freedom and a varied operation, it's a great opportunity for a Head Chef who wants something a little different.

 

If you want autonomy, creativity and the chance to make your mark, apply today.
