This historic independent school is looking for an Executive Chef to manage all aspects of food provision across boarding, day students, staff and guest services. You will be responsible for delivering fresh, balanced and appealing meals for around 1,000 students and staff every day.

The main production kitchen is located in a characterful heritage building, so you’ll need to enjoy working in a unique environment. Despite the traditional setting, all key equipment is brand new, including Rational ovens, modern dishwasher systems, and well-designed prep and service areas.

You will lead a team of around 10 chefs plus kitchen porters, including a dedicated pastry section, allowing you to maintain quality and consistency across the food offering.

This is not a role for someone chasing corporate titles. It's ideal for an experienced, steady professional who genuinely loves food, leadership, and creating a positive kitchen culture.
