• Develop and refine menus, ensuring quality, consistency and commercial awareness.
• Oversee food preparation and service, maintaining excellent standards.
• Drive the continued development of the food offering, including the Sunday roast menu.

The Ideal Candidate:
• An experienced Head Chef or a strong Sous Chef ready to take the next step.
• Passionate about fresh produce, seasonal ingredients and quality-led cooking.
• Confident managing suppliers, stock, ordering and kitchen operations.
• Creative and commercially minded, with the ability to develop a focused menu.
• Takes pride in delivering consistently excellent food.

What's on Offer:
• Salary of £40,000 per annum.
• Full-time, 40 hours per week.
