- Seaside relocation opportunity
- Creative autonomy - work with local, incredible ingredients
- Seasonal lifestyle
- Lots of support from hands-on owner
- Brand new kitchen!
A quaint seaside location in the East of England is opening an exciting new restaurant focused on simple, seasonal cooking. With an incredible network of local suppliers on the doorstep, this is a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in the community and showcase the very best of what’s in season - from foraged samphire to day-boat fish.
The Head Chef will have the freedom to create and launch their own menu, supported by a highly knowledgeable and passionate owner, with a big wine background. The area is crying out for this kind of offering, making it a genuinely exciting role for a talented chef with a love of beautiful, locally sourced food - think dayboat fish & pasture raised meat.
There’s already a sister retail business up and running, which will support with the footfall, and during the summer months the site will no doubt be packed! 30 covers inside and another 20 out. As with any seaside spot, there will be quieter periods too, making this an ideal role for someone who enjoys the natural rhythm and flexibility of a seasonal lifestyle.
This is a rare chance to play a key role in bringing a thoughtful, well-backed concept to life from the ground up.
There’s plenty of support available for the right person - whether you’re a strong Sous ready to step up, or an experienced HC looking to relocate. What is most important is that you are a creative person who is passionate about local, simple & seasonal food and wants to be part of something that's sure to be very special!
We are very excited to see this place come to life!
