A creative and seasoned Head Chef with extensive experience leading busy pub-restaurant and high-volume kitchen operations. Passionate about fresh, seasonal ingredients and delivering consistently high-quality dishes, they bring strong leadership skills and a hands-on approach. With a proven track record of managing full kitchen operations, developing menus, and training cohesive teams, they excel in environments that value quality, efficiency, and guest satisfaction.
Most recently, they have spent several years working within a well-known hospitality group, progressing from Sous Chef to Head Chef. In this role, they have overseen all aspects of kitchen management—menu development, supplier relations, staff leadership, scheduling, and maintaining the highest food safety standards. Their experience includes acting as a trusted second-in-command before stepping into full leadership, ensuring smooth service and strong team performance.
Prior to this, they worked as Head Chef at a busy bar and restaurant overseas, managing a fast-paced, high-volume kitchen serving both local customers and international visitors. They developed versatile menus, controlled food costs, and upheld strong hygiene and safety protocols.
Known for their calm, organised approach and commitment to high standards, this chef is now seeking a role that allows for creative input and a healthier work-life balance, without compromising on culinary excellence.
