What’s involved?

Working alongside the Head Chef, you’ll play a key role in delivering a high-quality, seasonal menu inspired by Western European and British cuisine. The guests are discerning, international travellers and locals alike, who expect refined, flavoursome dishes in an elegant yet relaxed setting.

The successful Sous Chef will have previous hotel experience, a deep understanding of Western European cuisines and cooking techniques, excellent communication, leadership, and management skills, and a thorough knowledge of food safety and hygiene regulations.
