Our client is a well-established and respected golf club, offering a welcoming, professional environment and high standards across hospitality and facilities.
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced chef who wants to continue cooking at a high level, take real responsibility in the kitchen, and enjoy a healthier work–life balance than traditional hospitality roles.
What’s in it for you?

What will your role look like?
• Supporting the Head Chef in the day-to-day running of the kitchen
• Deputising for the Head Chef when required
• Being hands-on during service and leading kitchen sections
• Delivering consistently high standards across members’ dining, bar food, society catering, weddings, and private events
