Cook where the landscape shapes the menu.

Wake up on the farm, work with ingredients reared and grown metres from the kitchen, and be part of a restaurant with genuine destination ambitions.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a Sous Chef or Junior Sous - or a standout Junior Sous / Senior CDP ready to step up - to join a serious, forward-thinking team focused on craft, seasonality and creating a dining experience worth travelling for.

• Collaborate with a highly respected Head Chef and Executive Chef

About you
