The
Headland Hotel is one of Cornwall's most iconic destinations, perched
dramatically above Fistral Beach with sweeping Atlantic views. At its heart
sits the Aqua Club, and central to that is The Deck - a vibrant restaurant
serving Mediterranean-inspired menus offering brunch and dinner. With both a
preparation kitchen and a live open kitchen at the centre of the dining
experience, The Deck is a genuinely exciting place to cook. We're now looking
for a talented and driven Head Chef to take ownership of this unique venue and
lead it to its full potential.
As
Head Chef, you'll be responsible for the day-to-day running of both kitchens,
leading your brigade with confidence and developing menus that reflect the
sun-soaked, produce-driven spirit of the Mediterranean. Working closely with
the Executive Chef, you'll bring creativity and discipline in equal measure, crafting
dishes that are fresh and seasonal. Our dinner menus focus on freshly made
pizza, pasta dishes, and flatbreads, along with small plates and simple
desserts. You'll have a strong understanding of food cost, ordering, and
kitchen management, and you'll be as comfortable mentoring junior chefs as you
are working the pass during a busy Saturday dinner service.
We're
proud to offer a genuine work-life balance in an industry that doesn't always
prioritise it. Our Head Chef will benefit from a 4-day working week, and we are
often out the door by 21:30.
You have a supportive senior team that values your
wellbeing as much as your food. In return, we're looking for someone who shares
our ambition - a chef who wants to make their mark at one of the North Coast's
most celebrated hotels, in a role with real creative freedom and the backing and
support to succeed.
This is a full-time permanent position based on a 48-hour working week including weekends and bank holidays.
In line with UK Immigration and Employment Law, only applicants eligible to live and work in the UK need apply. Proof of ID will be required in the form of a Passport, National Identity Card or Birth Certificate.
As a member of our team you can enjoy the following benefits:
As a proud EarthCheck partner, we don't just talk about sustainability we live it, embedding world-class environmental management and eco-friendly practices into everything we do. Join a team where sustainability is in our DNA and we are actively shaping the future of responsible hospitality every single day.
