• Brand new kitchen, Scottish produce

An established Scottish hospitality group is recruiting a Sous Chef for a brand new Edinburgh city centre opening in January. The food offer is built around Scottish produce and classical technique, with a focus on cooking from scratch. Freshly baked bread, good seafood and carefully sourced meat.

The Sous Chef will work closely with the Head Chef on menu development and seasonal dishes, lead busy services and keep standards consistent, train and develop the junior chefs, and take ownership of the day to day running of the kitchen including stock, ordering, food safety, waste and cost control.

The Sous Chef will join before the opening and will be involved with getting the kitchen and its systems set up from the start. There is scope to start in December for training and onboarding ahead of the January opening. Applications are welcomed from Sous Chefs in quality, food led kitchens, and from strong Junior Sous Chefs ready for the next step. Experience of charcoal cooking is a bonus rather than essential.
