Breakfast Chef - Burley Manor
We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Breakfast Chef to join our talented kitchen team at Burley Manor.
At New Forest Hotels, our purpose is to enrich the lives of those within our community by providing the very best New Forest hospitality.

At Burley Manor, breakfast isn't just the first meal of the day - it is a lasting impression! Whether it's perfectly poached eggs, a hearty full English or pancakes that disappear almost as quickly as they're served, you'll help set the tone for an unforgettable stay.
As a collection of hotels, we provide our teams with opportunities to work across our venues, giving everyone the chance to grow both professionally and personally. All we ask is that you share the mindset reflected in our core values:
- Be BRAVE - Take ownership
- Collaborate as a TEAM - Support one another
- Develop, NURTURE and care - Help yourself and others grow
- Be OPEN - Communicate honestly and respectfully
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
