Why choose our Client?

Our client is a luxury hotel in Devon, in a very unique location. This beautiful property has a fantastic reputation, breathtaking views and is steeped in history and stories.

Serving award-winning food where ingredients are all sourced locally in Devon, guests are spoilt for choice with 2 fine dining restaurants on site; a formal restaurant or a more relaxed seafood restaurant.

Our client is therefore looking for a like-minded individual with fine dining experience, who is a people person and a team player, to help take the team and the hotel further!

What's involved?

As the Head Pastry Chef, you will be passionate about all things pastry and will have a fine dining background. You will create delectable pastry dishes using fresh locally sourced ingredients for the 2 in-house fine dining restaurants, leading a small team of pastry chefs within a kitchen team of 18.

Under the direction of the Executive Chef, you'll take full responsibility for the pastry section; achieving good food and supplies cost controls, assisting with the planning and coordinating of new menus, and in the absence of the Executive Chef, will take on additional duties such as ordering from suppliers, meeting with sales representatives, when required and reporting any equipment for repairs.

You will ensure cleanliness is of the highest standard at all times, and will be vigilant in respect to health and safety issues, reporting any risks found.

Ideally you will have previously worked in a 2-3 Rosette environment but previous fine dining experience is essential.

Please note: due to the remote location, this role may be more suited to someone with their own transport, as public transport in the area is limited.
