Pastry Chef - New Pub Opening (Food Led) - Edinburgh EH1

• £36,270 per annum plus tronc, OTE around £47,970

A growing Scottish hospitality group is recruiting a Pastry Chef for a brand new Edinburgh city centre opening in January. The Pastry Chef will take responsibility for the pastry section, producing desserts and sweet courses that are well presented and consistent. 

Standards of preparation and presentation sit with the Pastry Chef, as does keeping the section organised and ready for every service. Day to day the Pastry Chef will work with seasonal ingredients and put forward ideas for new dishes, manage stock and monitor wastage to keep food costs under control, follow food safety, hygiene and allergen procedures, and share knowledge with the more junior chefs in the team.

The role works closely with the Head Chef, the Sous Chef and the wider kitchen, in a kitchen being built on strong communication. Joining before the opening means having a hand in setting the section up from the start, and there is scope to start in December for training and onboarding.

Applications are welcomed from any Pastry Chef with professional kitchen experience, a genuine interest in pastry and desserts, a calm approach through busy service and real pride in their own work.
