Who are we looking for?

We are looking for a highly organised and visionary Head Chef, someone ready to shoulder the thrills, challenges, and rewards of bringing this historic farm’s story to the table in a brand-new culinary establishment. Ideally, you will have experience in kitchen pre-opening (not essential) and in building professional Kitchen teams from scratch.
