Are you a passionate chef looking for a better work-life balance without compromising on fresh food standards?
We’re working exclusively with a friendly, private members’ golf club seeking a Head Cook / Kitchen Manager to lead their small, close-knit team.

The Role:

This is a hands-on position where you’ll oversee the kitchen operation, manage a team of three full-time and one part-time staff, and continue delivering fresh, home-cooked food. You’ll enjoy the flexibility to contribute ideas and refine seasonal menus, all while getting to know the club’s members and working sociable hours.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Leading a small team in a calm, respectful kitchen environment

  • Managing rotas, ordering stock, and maintaining food hygiene standards

  • Catering for:

    • Day-to-day bar service

    • Up to 24 covers for member matches

    • Up to 110 covers on society days

  • Adapting to seasonal trading hours (7:30am–7:30pm in summer / 7:30am–4:30pm in winter)

  • Creating a welcoming and supportive kitchen culture

About You:

  • You’re a qualified chef (Level 3 preferred) with a passion for home-style, fresh food

  • You’ve previously managed a kitchen or are ready to step up into that responsibility

  • You’re confident planning menus, placing orders, and managing kitchen staff

  • You enjoy building rapport with regular customers and being part of a "family feel" team

  • You're flexible, positive, and ready to commit for the long term

What’s in It for You?

  • £35,000–£37,000 salary (40 hours)

  • Paid overtime at your hourly rate

  • 4 weeks' holiday plus bank holidays

  • Sociable hours with early finishes in winter

  • Free meals on shift

  • No split shifts and one weekend off in every three

  • Chance to work somewhere that values your input and treats you like part of the family

This isn’t a high-pressure restaurant gig – it’s a fulfilling role in a warm, welcoming environment where quality, consistency, and care come first.
