This is a fantastic opportunity to take full ownership of the kitchen at a prestigious golf club in Leatherhead, Surrey, leading a team of 4 chefs and shaping a fresh food offering that serves both everyday dining and high-end events.

What you'll be doing

  • Design and deliver fresh seasonal menus for members, guests, functions, and events
  • Produce high-quality bar food, daily specials, and premium three-course dining experiences

  • Maintain excellent standards of Food Safety, HACCP, and Health & Safety compliance
  • Work closely with the wider management team to continually improve the food offering

What we're looking for

  • Proven experience as a Head Chef, or an ambitious Senior Sous Chef ready for their first Head Chef role
  • Strong fresh food background with experience creating seasonal menus
  • Excellent understanding of food costing, budgeting, and margin control
  • A calm, level-headed leadership style with a focus on coaching and developing people
  • Someone who leads through respect and communication rather than shouting and pressure
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple revenue streams
  • Experience catering for both casual dining and high-quality functions/events
  • Food Hygiene qualifications and a strong understanding of kitchen compliance

Why you'll love this role

This is a rare opportunity to take ownership of a successful kitchen while enjoying a genuine work-life balance. Based at one of Surrey's most respected golf clubs, you'll have the freedom to influence menus, develop your team, and make a real impact on the food operation-all while benefiting from predominantly daytime hours and a supportive management team.
