An established private members club in the Bolton area is looking for a Head Chef to lead its kitchen and help develop the food offering across the business.
This is a great opportunity for an experienced Head Chef, or a strong Sous Chef ready for their first Head Chef position, who is looking for more ownership and creativity alongside a better work-life balance than many traditional restaurant or hotel kitchens can offer.
The club has benefited from significant investment in its clubhouse and catering facilities and operates from a modern, well-equipped kitchen.
The food offering caters for members and visitors alongside golf societies, club events, weddings, corporate events and private functions throughout the year. The successful chef will have the freedom to develop seasonal menus, introduce new ideas and build on an established catering operation.
The role:
Salary up to £35,000 , depending on experience
Excellent work-life balance
Modern kitchen and catering facilities
Established private members club
Opportunity to shape and develop the food offering
Seasonal menu development
Events, functions and society catering
Free on-site parking
Uniform provided
Supportive working environment
We're looking for someone who can:
Lead, motivate and develop the kitchen team
Produce consistently high-quality, fresh food
Develop seasonal menus and introduce new ideas
Manage food purchasing, stock and kitchen budgets
Maintain strong food hygiene and health & safety standards
Recruit, train and support kitchen staff
Work closely with the wider management and F&B team
Adapt the food offering across day-to-day service, events and functions
You could already be an established Head Chef looking for a role offering more balance and autonomy, or an experienced Sous Chef who is ready to take responsibility for their own kitchen.
A strong fresh-food background, sound commercial awareness and a calm, approachable leadership style will be important.
If you're looking for a Head Chef position where you can put your own stamp on the food while joining an established and well-invested operation, we'd love to hear from you.
