Private Healthcare | Staff Accommodation Available | Michelin Green Star Environment

Located just one hour from London

Are you looking to take the next step in your culinary career within one of the UK's most exciting farm-to-fork kitchens?

We are currently recruiting talented chefs at Demi Chef de Partie, Chef de Partie, Junior Sous Chef and Sous Chef level to join an award-winning estate set within over 400 acres of beautiful countryside, just an hour outside London.

For candidates relocating, staff accommodation is available, making this an excellent opportunity to escape the city while continuing to work at the very highest level.

Home to a Michelin Green Star restaurant, organic Home Farm and biodynamic Market Garden, this unique estate offers chefs the rare opportunity to cook with incredible ingredients harvested fresh each day, working alongside growers and producers who are as passionate about sustainability as the kitchen team itself.

Whether you're looking to develop your skills within fine dining, work with exceptional produce, or progress your career within a business that genuinely invests in its people, this is an outstanding opportunity.



The Role

Working within a highly skilled brigade, you'll be involved in producing exceptional food across breakfast, lunch and dinner service, using some of the finest seasonal ingredients available anywhere in the UK.

Depending on your level of experience, responsibilities will include:

  • Preparing and cooking dishes to an exceptional standard

  • Running or supporting your own section during service

  • Working closely with the senior kitchen team to deliver consistently outstanding food

  • Supporting and mentoring junior chefs

  • Maintaining excellent food hygiene and health & safety standards

  • Working with hyper-seasonal produce sourced directly from the estate

  • Contributing ideas towards seasonal menu development

  • Maintaining exceptional organisation, consistency and attention to detail throughout service



What We're Looking For

  • Experience as a Demi Chef de Partie, Chef de Partie, Junior Sous Chef or Sous Chef

  • A genuine passion for seasonal, produce-led cooking

  • Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail

  • Positive attitude with a willingness to learn and develop

  • Ability to perform within a busy professional kitchen

  • Excellent communication and teamwork skills

  • An interest in sustainability and farm-to-fork cooking

Experience within Michelin, Rosette or luxury hotel kitchens would be advantageous but is by no means essential.



What's On Offer

  • Basic salaries ranging from £28,000 - £42,000, depending on experience

  • Approx. £7,800 per year in gratuities

  • Staff accommodation available

  • Private healthcare

  • Enhanced holiday allowance

  • Life assurance from day one

  • Employee Assistance Programme

  • Enhanced maternity & paternity pay

  • Company sick pay

  • Free staff meals

  • 50% discount across the estate's restaurants

  • 50% discount on Wildsmith Skin products

  • Monthly recognition awards and annual staff events

  • £1,000 employee referral bonus

  • Ongoing training and genuine career progression within one of the UK's leading sustainable hospitality businesses

If you're passionate about exceptional ingredients, sustainable cooking and developing your career within a truly unique kitchen, we'd love to hear from you.
