This popular restaurant group is seeking an Executive Chef as it prepares for expansion over the year ahead and beyond. This is an exciting opportunity to join a founder-led business and play an instrumental role in its next phase of growth.
The menu is centred on quality steak and grilled dishes. While the concept is already well defined, there is scope to refine and expand the offering further.
You’ll work closely with the Operations Director on strategy, new sites, kitchen design, recruitment, and the ongoing development of senior chefs. The Executive Chef will be expected to be hands-on in the kitchens when needed, particularly while immersing themselves in the role.
