Chef de Partie

at  Farncombe Estate

We’re offering the rare opportunity for a chef to join our small and skilled culinary team at our highly exclusive, “private house” hotel, Foxhill Manor. As the Cotswolds’ only 5 AA Red Star hotel, we offer just eight suites and a truly luxurious experience to go along with them. From free flowing Champagne, to hot tub experiences under the stars, to a stunning ballroom for all of those special occasions, we’re looking for someone to work with us and help create amazing memories for our guests.
The Foxhill chefs offer an indulgent “eat what you want, when you want” culinary experience, unique to the UK. We create bespoke menus for each guest, featuring seasonal creations served with flair, or luxurious comfort food - whatever the guest would like, we make it happen! Working with the epitome of high end ingredients, you’ll have the chance to get creative and really showcase your knowledge and skill. Our kitchen features top-of-the-range equipment, and with ongoing investment into the department, it really is a excellent work environment.
If you have experience of working as a chef de partie in very high quality settings, and a forward-thinking, passionate and proactive approach to guest service, we’d love to hear from you.
We offer an excellent salary of up to around £37,500 per year (£34,195 basic plus service charge) on a 48h per week contract. Our 500 acre Estate of three award-winning hotels (including Michelin listed, 4 AA Rosette Dormy House Hotel and 2 AA Rosette The Fish Hotel) is the perfect place to develop your chef career.

We also offer a raft of excellent benefits including:

• 30 days holiday per year (rising to 35 after 5 years)
• A celebration birthday lunch in one of the hotels, on us!
• Access to onsite mental health first aiders, and an employee assistance programme from Hospitality Action

Due to our rural location, you will require your own transport (WR12 7LJ). If this sounds like your ideal next move, and you would like to discuss this role or any other opportunities on our estate, please do get in touch! We look forward to hearing from you.
We are members of the Hoteliers Charter, and are committed to providing a workplace built on respect, fairness, equality, diversity and opportunity, and to putting wellness and career development at the heart of what we do
