Job Description:

If your ambition is to build a career in a long established, successful family run business, where guests come first and quality is paramount, come and join us as a Head Chef.

We treat all our people like part of the family - you'll be respected, trained, coached and encouraged to grow in confidence, to achieve more than you thought you were capable of.

So, if you're as passionate as we are about fresh food and would enjoy helping to create a seriously relaxed country dining experience, with full table service and an emphasis on Mediterranean-inspired, freshly-cooked food, plying your craft over charcoal ovens and grills. With freshly made hand-crafted authentic Italian pizzas, baked to perfection in our wood-fired pizza oven, then you could be our next Head Chef at our New Heritage Collection, an important part of the McMullen Family. We can offer you:

  • An achievable bonus scheme
  • Contracted 45 hours a week
  • Family friendly policies including enhanced maternity and paternity pay
  • A share of gratuities
  • 60% discounted meals when you are working
  • 25% discount on food and 20% off drinks for you and your friends on your day off
  • Fantastic training and career development through McMullen's GROW Programme if you wish to progress
  • A step into a progressive Company who treat people as a name, not a number
  • Full chef uniform

The ideal Head Chef will have the following:

  • The ability to cook and present dishes, in line with specification, in a busy environment.
  • The capability to deliver food GP% to budget.
  • Experience in stocktaking and management of stock control.
  • Exemplary standards of personal hygiene and presentation.
  • The ability to recruit, train and coach junior team members.
  • A strong understanding of food health and safety.
