This beautiful property boasts a 2 AA Rosette fine dining main restaurant serving breakfast and dinner to hotel residents each day. The menu for the fine dining restaurant changes daily with a weekly rotation but also includes daily specials too. In addition to this, the hotel has a terrace bar and poolside bistro which offer lunch and afternoon tea respectively, and an on-site food-led pub, however, the pub is run by a separate team of chefs.
The kitchen team is passionate about creating memorable experiences for their guests using fresh, locally sourced produce which is a proud feature of the hotel. The menu mixes classic dishes alongside new modern favourites and the hotel are looking for like-minded, chefs who can work closely with the existing team, to continue to deliver the high level of service expected.

A lot of prep work will be involved as you can expect to cater for up to 120 covers per night during peak season, using locally sourced produce, however, you will be mindful to monitor portion and waste control at all times, to maintain profit margins.
The Commis Pastry Chef will work as part of a team of pastry chefs, preparing, cooking and presenting dishes from your section to a consistently high standard. You will be responsible for preparing a wide variety of baked goods such as bread and cakes using fresh ingredients, following recipes along the way and then decorating the final product.
