Head Chef Vacancy

We’re looking for an experienced and passionate Head Chef to lead our kitchen team here at the Trearddur Bay Hotel. If you love working with fresh, seasonal ingredients and take pride in delivering high-quality food, this could be the ideal opportunity.

Our hotel is set in a stunning coastal location, right on the beach in Trearddur Bay. We’ve got 47 bedrooms – many with sea views and balconies – and we’re known just as much for our food and hospitality as for the scenery.

• 1828 Bar Gardd a Chegin – our lively garden pop-up with a street food twist, ideal for summer service.

• We also host weddings, private parties and events, which gives plenty of variety day to day.

We’re looking for someone who can lead from the front, inspire the team, and maintain high standards during busy service, and we’re keen to work with someone who brings ideas, energy, and a genuine love of food.

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience as a Head Chef or in a senior kitchen role.

• Strong leadership skills and a calm, hands-on approach.

• A passion for quality, consistency, and fresh, seasonal cooking.

• Someone who enjoys working in a team and takes pride in what they do.

In return, you’ll be joining a supportive and well-established team in a fantastic setting, with opportunities to grow and develop further.

If this sounds like your next step, we’d love to hear from you.

What we offer our Head Chefs:

• Annual profit share, ensuring you share in the success of the company
