Chef de Partie

A Chef de Partie role at a River Cottage Kitchen is like no other. You will be working with a menu that is influenced by the seasons. At River Cottage, we use the very best local, responsibly sourced, seasonal ingredients to create delicious dishes, which reflect our passion and commitment to food provenance.

Within just a few short miles of each other we have our River Cottage HQ and our River Cottage Kitchen.  A Chef role at HQ is varied; from dining events to weddings, festivals to cookery school. In our Kitchen Restaurant you will be working with the best ingredients the South West has to offer, as nearly all our menu is created fresh. You will work closely with our suppliers & have creative freedom on our specials board with the guidance of our executive chef Gelf Alderson.

We love our people just as much as we love our food & its provenance. We want you to love working for us so we offer a variety of flexible shift patterns & strive for a work life balance.
 

Here are some of our other benefits for you to look forward to:

• Visits to local suppliers & River Cottage HQ
• Share of our service charge tipping system in addition to your pay rate.
• 30% discount in our restaurants
• Paid annual leave & pension scheme
