Chef De Partie in Cornwall

Join to apply for the Chef De Partie role at Watergate Bay Hotel. Coming back to good food, cheeks glowing from the day’s adventures, is at the heart of the Watergate Bay experience. We want to inspire our guests with the best seasonal menus, local produce and contemporary dishes, and give them eating and drinking experiences to remember. Watergate Bay Hotel – a place to take your culinary career to new heights. With a team that values connection, flexibility, variety, and challenge, we're all about making a meaningful impact on our guest's holiday. Our three core values - We Care, We Notice, We Change – show what it means to work for a hotel which goes above and beyond for our team and guests.

At Watergate Bay, we don't just provide a place for our guests to rest their heads - we create memorable experiences that they'll remember for a lifetime. It's all about the balance of life. Being active, getting amongst the elements, spoiling yourself a little, chilling out, getting cosy, and most of all having a good time. At our hotel, we're looking for a team who are passionate about Cornwall and our local food and drink producers, and are eager to be a part of this county's incredible way of life. As a member of our team, you'll work alongside others who prioritise our guests and support each other.

For people-watching and whiling away easy hours, The Living Space is our guests' space to sit back, breathe deep and make themselves at home, in front of the view. Think small plates and sharing longboards. Salad bowls, burgers, grill plates, and fresh pasta.
