Head Chef – Exciting Project – Creativity and Autonomy

Head Chef – High-End Venue | Creative Control & Menu Ownership
Salary: £60,000-£65,000
Contract: 40 hours per week

We’re looking for a Head Chef to lead the kitchen at a premium hospitality venue with a high-end clientele and a focus on quality, experience, and refined service. This is an exciting opportunity for a chef with vision – someone who wants to shape a food offering, lead a skilled brigade, and deliver consistency at a high standard.

You’ll have the space and support to re-design, develop, and elevate the menu, bringing your own ideas and personality to the plate. The venue is established, well-resourced, and ready for a fresh approach guided by a confident and creative Head Chef.

Why this role?
* £60,000-£65,000 salary package
* Creative autonomy to develop dishes and direct menu strategy
* 40-hour contract offering a genuine work/life balance (rare at this level)
* Lead a stable, well-structured brigade
* Work in a high-end environment with guests who appreciate quality

We’re looking for:
* A Head Chef (or strong Senior Sous ready to step up) from a quality-led restaurant, members club, boutique hotel, or similar premium environment
* Confident leadership skills with the ability to motivate and inspire your team
* A chef who loves flavour, seasonality, and detail – without ego
* Someone commercially aware, organised, and consistent in standards

If you’re ready to take ownership of a kitchen where your creativity is genuinely valued – and you’re looking for a stable, supportive environment with balance – this could be the move.
