The Machrie 

Facing the Atlantic, with unbroken views of dunes, sea and sky, lies The Machrie on the Isle of Islay. A contemporary hotel with 43 beautifully designed rooms, suites and family lodges, a world-class golf links, restaurant, outside sauna and hot tub garden, screening room and modern art collection.

Freshly landed seafood served on the terrace. Far-stretching empty sands. Cool clear waters inviting you in. On Islay, one of the easiest to reach islands off the west coast of Scotland, adventure and a landscape teeming with wildlife await. 

With a team that values connection, flexibility, variety, and challenge, we're all about making a meaningful impact on our guest’s holiday. Our three core values - We Care, We Notice, We Change – show what it means to work for a hotel which goes above and beyond for our team and guests. At Another Place, we don't just provide a place for our guests to rest their heads - we create memorable experiences that they'll remember for a lifetime.

Our Chef de Partie role 

If the thought of living an island lifestyle makes your heart sing, but the thought of split shifts make it sink, then this could be the most wonderful role for you. 

We know that kitchen life can be challenging, and that talented chefs are worth their weight in caviar right now. So, we’ve taken a good, honest look at our kitchen teams to focus on what’s important and introduce new, innovative ways of working.

In this role you'll have the opportunity to work across our thriving kitchens in a combined team, gaining a unique insight into different culinary styles and learning from our exceptional Head Chef. There’s the Living Space – our place for easy lakeside eating, meeting and lounging – and Rampsbeck Restaurant, inspired by the region’s produce – dishes that showcase heritage ingredients and flavours that occur naturally within the landscape, with contemporary flare.

Coming back to good food, cheeks glowing from the day’s adventures, is at the heart of the Another Place experience. We want to inspire our guests with the best seasonal menus, local produce and contemporary dishes, and give them eating and drinking experiences to remember.
