Head Chef  - Live in 43k plus great tips/tronc

We're looking for a Head Chef for the Greyhound in Carshalton - a pub is proud to sit at the centre of the community.   Our food offer is all about taking traditional pub classics, firm favourites and comfort food and elevating them using fresh, seasonal ingredients.  We're looking for a people-focused Head Chef who is passionate about developing and nurturing their team and has experience working in a 100% fresh food kitchen.   Volume experience is essential - we are a popular food destination both with locals and overnight guests who choose to stay in our bedrooms - whether that's for al fresco food when the sun is out, Sunday roasts or celebrations.   You'll be in charge of all aspects of kitchen management as well as being the creative force behind the menu - writing recipes that fit in with the food vision here in the pub.
