We are proud to bring to the market the position of Head Chef at the award-winning Crown and Castle Hotel at Orford on the heritage coast in Suffolk. We describe ourselves as a restaurant with 21 comfortable bedrooms, note restaurant comes before bedrooms.
After 6 fantastic years the current Head Chef has decided to take up a new challenge and this gives the successful candidate the opportunity to really develop the business and put their own stamp on it. To date the business has been built on a predominantly breakfast and dinner service giving the successful candidate a real opportunity to grow the lunch/brunch or afternoon tea trade and add to this already highly regarded hotel.
The ideal candidate will have great communication skills and be able to lead and develop a brigade of talented young chefs to new heights. With the focus being on Suffolk produce including local seafood and quality meat all being brought together with Italian undertones and flavours and bringing a little piece of Italian cuisine to Orford.
You will need to work to set deadlines and be able to achieve realistic profit margins working with your fellow folk to create seamless service and blow your socks off hospitality whilst creating an environment everybody feels empowered to work in.
As a company we are passionate about developing our folk and feel this is something the successful candidate should be able to demonstrate as well as being a strong chef with superb cooking skills. You will also need to have level 2 food hygiene minimum, be proficient in kitchen managment, be able to plan menus seasonally, self-motivated and be able to motivate others.
