**We’re proud winners of the AA Small Hotel Group of the Year 2024–25, and Best Employer at the 2025 Springboard Awards for Excellence**

Respectfully, we are not engaging agencies for this role.

What you’ll be doing?

This is an exciting time to join Brockencote Hall Hotel as our new Head Chef, following the recent launch of Malvern Restaurant – our newly reimagined 3 AA Rosette restaurant, created following a significant investment and inspired by the beauty of the Worcestershire countryside.

As Head Chef, you’ll lead the culinary direction of Malvern Restaurant and play a key role in shaping its next chapter. You’ll take ownership of the day-to-day running of the kitchen, leading your brigade to deliver exceptional food with creativity, consistency and genuine pride.

With menus celebrating modern British cuisine, seasonality and exceptional produce, you’ll have the opportunity to build on Brockencote’s strong reputation for locally sourced ingredients - including produce from our own kitchen garden and honey from our 12-hive apiary – while bringing your own ideas, personality and culinary expertise to the table.

Alongside our restaurant operation, Brockencote Hall is also a much-loved wedding and events destination. You’ll therefore oversee food delivery across the wider hotel, ensuring the same attention to detail, quality and memorable guest experience runs through everything from intimate dining and tasting menus to weddings, private events and special occasions.

You’ll lead from the front, planning and organising the kitchen operation, managing standards and performance, and creating an environment where your brigade can thrive. Just as importantly, you’ll be passionate about nurturing talent, developing future chefs and building a positive kitchen culture rooted in teamwork, accountability and pride.

What you’ll need?

To succeed as our Head Chef, you’ll be an experienced and inspiring culinary leader with a genuine passion for delivering food at 3 AA Rosette standard, alongside the commercial and operational understanding needed to lead a successful hotel kitchen.

You’ll bring:

• Proven experience working at 3 AA Rosette level, ideally within a luxury hotel, fine-dining restaurant or comparable hospitality environment
• Previous experience in a Head Chef role, or significant senior kitchen leadership experience with the readiness to take the next step
• A genuine passion for modern British food, seasonality, provenance and ethically sourced produce
• Strong operational and commercial awareness, with the ability to effectively manage food costs, labour, stock, suppliers and kitchen performance
• Experience of delivering food across a varied operation, including restaurant dining, weddings and events
• A supportive, approachable and modern leadership style;
• A collaborative approach, working closely with the wider hotel leadership and front-of-house teams to create memorable experiences for every guest

• A competitive remuneration package: including salary, bonus opportunity and service charge.  
• Generous Time Off: 31 days of leave, increasing to 33 with service.
• Monthly Tips: Fairly shared service charge/gratuities, all paid on second pay date in the month.
• Discounts & Perks: Exclusive savings at 800+ retailers, gyms, restaurants, days out, and utilities.
• Wellbeing Centre: Access to Hello Fresh recipes, fitness videos, and financial planning tools.
• Health & Wellness Plans: Dental, vision, alternative care, and 24/7 GP access.
• Sustainable Commuting: Cycle-to-Work and Electric Vehicle Leasing options.
• Exclusive EHC Perks: Discounted stays, spa treatments, golf, and leisure at our properties.
• The Happy Hub: Our reward and recognition platform where you can send peer-to-peer cards, earn monetary rewards, be celebrated as Employee of the Month, and receive long-service vouchers.
• Genuine Wellbeing Support: We’re here to support your financial, mental, and physical wellbeing both via our supportive teams and Hospitality Action.
• Employee Comm’s: Stay connected through Eden Engage for all the latest team news.
• Grow with Eden: Develop with us through apprenticeships and leadership programs like RISE & THRIVE.
• Family-Friendly Policies: Enhanced leave and return-to-work financial support for life’s key moments.
• Everyday Essentials: Free parking, meals on duty, uniform provided and a footwear allowance.

 A Culture of Collaboration and Care

We work together to create a truly inclusive workplace, where your voice matters, and real change happens:

• Your Voice Matters: Regular surveys that value your input.
• Real Action: “You said, we did”—because we listen and respond.
• Sustainability Focus: Employee champions at every hotel and HQ.

We’re proud members of the Hoteliers’ Charter, and our team is always at the heart of what we do, guided by our values of Heart, Honesty, Spirit, and Team.

Our commitment to equity means we welcome talent from all backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, and we encourage applications from all communities, including underrepresented groups, parents, people living with disabilities, and those bringing diverse perspectives.  Join us to experience what it means to work for a values-led, award-winning employer.
