Head Chef/Cook – Arthurs Farm Kitchen. Full-time
Arthur’s Farm Kitchen are looking for an enthusiastic, creative and hardworking Head Chef/Cook to take the lead in our next phase of development. You will have a key role in helping us to deliver our strategic promises to our shareholders and local community. We have a strong passion and commitment to connect people’s hearts and minds to the natural environment and the food which is derived from it.
Our menu is therefore produce driven focusing on using seasonal, locally produced ingredients. We bake from scratch each morning, we don’t use fryers or microwaves and we pride ourselves in using traditional cookery methods.
We have a modest 35 seated café and an upstairs function/meeting room which can cater for 40-60 further guests. During the summer months seating outside can double café capacity. There is also an external catering cabin (griddle based) which is under-utilized and the construction of a new straw bale building is due to complete April 2019. This will include its own large kitchen and can accommodate 30 guests. We hope to offer cookery courses and workshops in this new facility too. The right candidate will drive forward our development and develop their own role as we progress together.
This is a full-time position of 40 hours per week
