Where possible, ingredients are sourced locally in Devon or grown in the hotel's own kitchen garden.

The hotel is also able to cater for weddings and private events for up to 120 covers.

Please note that this hotel is situated in a remote location with no public transport links, therefore, this role may be best suited to someone with their own transport.

What's involved?

If you are a driven and capable Sous Chef looking for your next challenge in an inspiring coastal environment, then this could be the role for you!

As the Sous Chef, you will be working closely with the Head Chef and Senior Sous Chef to ensure the smooth day-to-day operation of the kitchen, running the kitchen and managing the kitchen team in their absence. You will lead and inspire the team, ensuring high standards are met, maintaining excellent food quality and presentation consistently.

You will work with the senior chefs to control stock and food costs to keep wastage to a minimum as well as adhere to a budget. You will ensure that the food areas are set up ready for the day ahead and that the kitchen team is briefed accordingly, ready for service.

You will be a team player, able to work under pressure and multitask to deliver great food promptly. In addition, you must have a good eye for detail with the ability to cook dishes to a high standard, using fresh ingredients.

As an experienced chef, the successful Sous Chef will have previously worked to a high standard of food, 2 Rosette standard, preferably. This role would be perfect for someone looking to step up to their first Sous Chef role, as well as someone already at that level.

Working with fresh, seasonal ingredients, you will support the Head Chef in maintaining consistently high standards while helping to lead, motivate, and develop the team. This role suits someone who thrives in a fast-paced kitchen and takes real pride in producing beautifully executed dishes.

This is an excellent opportunity for a confident chef with proven leadership experience to play a key role in delivering exceptional food in a quality-driven environment.

Staff accommodation is available if required; however, please note that this hotel is situated in a remote location with no public transport links, therefore, this role may be best suited to someone with their own transport.
