ABOUT US

We are a well-established golf club under exciting new ownership. Our vision is to take our food and beverage offering to the next level — delivering exceptional dining experiences for members, guests, and event clients. With a mix of daily clubhouse service, special events, conferences and weddings, we’re looking for a talented and organised chef to join our team and help shape the next chapter of our culinary journey.

REQUIREMENTS

· Proven experience as a Head Chef or Senior Chef in a similar environment.
· Strong understanding of GP margins and cost control.
· Knowledge of EHO compliance and kitchen due diligence.
· Experience in event catering, including weddings and buffets.
· Excellent organisational and time management skills.
· Ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
· Passion for food, creativity, and delivering a great customer experience.

THE ROLE

We’re seeking an experienced, hands-on Chef with Sous or above experience, who can manage all aspects of our kitchen operation. You’ll have the creativity to design menus, the commercial acumen to cost them accurately using GP margins, and the operational skills to ensure daily compliance with EHO and food safety standards, alongside the ability to run functions too.
You will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the kitchen, ordering supplies weekly, preparing high-quality dishes, and delivering outstanding food for a wide range of occasions — from casual clubhouse meals to elegant three-course wedding banquets.
