About the Role
A rare opportunity to join a small, passionate team using the very best produce and equipment while maintaining a better work-life balance. Working alongside and reporting to the Head Chef, you will ensure the smooth day-to-day running of the kitchen and be involved in planning the monthly changing seasonal menu. The menu is built around British seasonal produce using the best ingredients from small producers wherever possible, with a strong focus on reducing wastage by using as much of the raw product as possible. A large roof garden means menus are designed based on what is available from the garden each month.

This role suits candidates with strong restaurant backgrounds; experience in a Michelin kitchen is preferable but not essential. The Head Chef has spent the last 10 years working in some of the best restaurants worldwide, ensuring staff are constantly learning and developing while being encouraged to bring their own ideas and dishes forward.

You will have the opportunity to work alongside our Head of Food and Sustainability, building core skills and values that will set you apart in the industry. This is a fantastic chance to join a well-established company dominating the hospitality sector, with plenty of scope for progression and growth through on-the-job training courses and supplier visits.

At BaxterStorey, we are obsessed with food and developing talent. We offer an exceptional culinary playground where your creativity can flourish, your talents can shine, and you can continuously evolve and refine your craft in a supportive development partnership.

Key responsibilities include food preparation according to recipes and standards set by the Head Chef, station management, quality control, team collaboration including coaching junior chefs, menu development, and maintaining cleanliness and organisation of the kitchen and equipment.
