As our busy summer turns into a packed festive calendar, we are looking to strengthen our Kitchen Brigade and are on the search for Head Pastry Chef at the top of their game, to join our highly successful team. We are eagerly anticipating and excited for the next stage of our own journey…Is it time to start the next chapter in yours?

We’re an award-winning independent, family owned 5-star hotel dedicating ambition, experience and passion into delivering an individual service for our guests. Our team is at the heart of everything we achieve – we’re intent on balancing our people, profits and planet, creating a great place for our teams to work and we’re delighted to have had this recognised nationally again this year as one of the “Best Places to Work” in the Hospitality Industry.

Intent and passionate to create an unforgettable experience for our diners, we are looking for a Head Pastry Chef to create mouth-watering experiences - in this hands-on role, you will have freedom and autonomy to make this your own!

Having been a leader of a successful pastry team already, you’ll have experience in a high volume but exceptionally high standard environment and have strong leadership skills. You’ll love to teach and develop chefs and be able to communicate well at all levels. It gets busy so you’ll need to be extremely organised but calm under pressure whilst maintaining exceptional standards - you’ll be a role model for the team you work with!
