Sous Chef

As Sous Chef

As Sous chef, you'll lead the kitchen team in delivering a bold, ingredient led menu that reflects our values - thoughtful sourcing, generous hospitality, and a real sense of place. You'll be responsible for shaping a food offering that balances consistency with creativity, running a tight ship day to day while nurturing a positive, ambitious kitchen culture. This is a hands on role for a chef who leads from the front, works clean and calm, and wants to be part of building something special from the ground up.

Primary Responsibilities

• Lead and inspire the kitchen team in delivering a seasonal, produce driven menu aligned with Crafted ethos
• Manage daily kitchen operations, including prep, service, rota planning, ordering stock control and health and safety compliance
• Work closely with the Executive Chef and Head of Food and Beverage to ensure smooth coordination between kitchen and front of house
• Champion sustainability and local sourcing wherever possible, building strong supplier relationships
• Develop and train junior chefs, setting a tone of mutual respect, professionalism, and growth
• Uphold high standards of cleanliness, organisation and attention to detail throughout all service periods

Requirements

• Proven experience leading a kitchen team, ideally in a boutique hotel, restaurant, or lifestyle focused hospitality setting
• A track record of delivering quality, consistency, and creative input under pressure
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to motivate, mentor and develop others
• A collaborative, low ego approach to working with front of house, suppliers and leadership
• Solid knowledge of kitchen operations, food safety, cost management and sustainability best practice
• A genuine love of food, hospitality, and creating memorable guest experiences

Values

1. Enjoy it: it's still work, but if you're having fun then so are our guests. It's ok if you're humming behind the bar or moving with the music.
2. Own it: whoever you are, and whatever your role, someone's enjoyment is in your hands. Always keep an eye out.
3. Improve it: ask for feedback (and don't be scared of what follows) and be curious. We'll give you plenty of chances to learn and develop.

Note: positive Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles are integrated across these three values.
