Head Chef in Windsor, Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead

Head / Executive Chef, Central Windsor, Monday to Friday daytimes only (no weekends or evenings !!!), £50,000 + Great Benefits including free parking, Amazing New Kitchen based within a prestigious corporate environment. 

This isn’t just a chef role; this is a true leadership opportunity.

Imagine running a brand-new, state-of-the-art kitchen, cooking with fresh, high-quality ingredients, leading a small, talented brigade, and serving food that genuinely excites and energises people — all while enjoying your evenings and weekends back.

This is your chance to step into a role where food, people, and standards truly matter.

The Opportunity:

You’ll take full ownership of a newly launched workplace dining operation serving up to 400 office professionals each day. This is a flagship site — and you’ll be the driving force behind its success.

You’ll lead a team of three chefs, set the culinary vision, and deliver food that goes far beyond “canteen dining.” Think restaurant-quality food, done efficiently, creatively, and consistently.

This role is perfect for a strong Head Chef or an ambitious Sous Chef ready to step up and lead something of their own.

What You’ll Be Responsible For:

• Leading and inspiring a brigade of 3 chefs with confidence, clarity, and high standards
• Designing and delivering fresh, seasonal menus that people genuinely look forward to
• Producing outstanding breakfast and lunch services for a high-volume, quality-focused site
• Creating food that reflects modern dining trends while remaining commercially smart
• Maintaining impeccable standards across food quality, presentation, hygiene, and safety
• Building trusted relationships with on-site stakeholders through consistent excellence
• Taking full ownership of your kitchen — this is your operation to run

Who Thrives in This Role

You’ll succeed here if you:

Are currently a Head Chef or a Sous Chef ready for your next step

Come from a restaurant, contract caterers, gastro pub, or quality-driven fresh food background

Care deeply about flavour, presentation, and consistency

Are a natural leader who brings the best out of others

Take pride in building something, not just maintaining it

Want structure, balance, and long-term progression without compromising standards

Talent, attitude, and leadership matter most.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Monday to Friday daytimes only — your evenings and weekends are yours
• Daytime hours — real work-life balance
• £50,000 salary plus great benefits including free car parking
• Brand-new kitchen and operation — no inherited problems
• Creative freedom within a supportive, professional environment
• A role where food is genuinely valued, not cut corners
