About The Role
A new contemporary Pan-Asian restaurant, opening in early 2027, is seeking an experienced Head Chef to lead the culinary team. Located in the north of the country, the restaurant offers accommodation if required, and sponsorship may be available for candidates already based in the UK.
As Head Chef, you will play a pivotal role in the overall success of the kitchen, driving exceptional standards and helping to establish the restaurant as a leading dining destination within the region.
Working with high-quality ingredients, you will create and deliver an authentic Asian menu with a strong focus on Japanese and Chinese cuisine. The restaurant will feature an intimate open-plan kitchen and bar, providing guests with an engaging and immersive dining experience.
