Why choose our Client?

Our client is developing a truly unique experience for their customers where they can experience everything from fine dining with a team of personal chefs, to a self-catered escape from everyday life surrounded by nature (and everything that comes with it). Customers will be able to spend their time unwinding in their own way whether that be Yoga, a Vineyard tour or simply a remote walk in the wilderness; they truly encompass and live by their mission statement to Eat Well, Move Well and Think Well which is certainly extended to their staff members too.

What's involved?

Our client is building something special; a Luxury Wellness Resort spanning one hundred acres of working farmland in the picturesque location of Bridport, boasting their own vineyard, livestock, and wellness products. As a Sous Chef you will be encouraged to create seasonal dishes, using produce grown on their own working farm or foraged from the grounds. You will also be in command of the kitchen when the Executive Chef isn't there, ensuring that the kitchen operation always runs smoothly, and guests have a truly unforgettable experience.

The role will require you to think outside of the box and use the produce at your disposal; this could range from fruit and vegetables grown on site, all the way through to livestock reared by their dedicated farming team. Alongside working in the main kitchen there will also be responsibilities for creating hampers for guests and cooking large "farmhouse style" platters for roast dinners and buffet services.

This role would suit an ambitious and creative chef who encompasses the ethos of working with the land and nature in a sustainable, responsible way to create an exceptional dining experience.
