ABOUT KIP & NOOK Kip & Nook is a one-of-a-kind boutique hotel and lifestyle venue set within 250 acres of North Yorkshire countryside, just 10 minutes from Darlington. From our unique cabins and campervan pitches to our padel courts, yoga studio, sauna, ice bath and cinema room, we're constantly growing, and our food offering is no exception. We invest in our team, we value personality as much as skill, and we create an environment where people can genuinely develop and thrive.

Alberto's Farmhouse is coming to Kip & Nook - an Italian inspired farmhouse restaurant, that will elevate our already very popular restaurant (The Workshop). No fuss, just honest food, good company, and a seat at the table for everyone. We serve brunch and dinner seven days a week to hotel guests and local visitors alike. This isn't a corporate kitchen. This is a place where food is cooked with care, served with warmth, and built around the belief that a great meal should feel like coming home.
THE ROLE
We need a skilled, passionate Chef to join us from the start of our next chapter, helping to shape the kitchen, establish the menu based on guest feedback and operational efficiency, and set the standard for everything that follows. Alongside Alberto's, you'll also work across The Workshop, our existing bar and snacks space at the heart of the Kip & Nook site. We're looking for someone who has the skill to deliver, the energy to build something new, and the ambition to grow with us. For the right person, there is so much room to grow, and we'll invest in you to get there.

• Proven experience in a professional kitchen environment • A genuine love of food, especially simple, quality-led, ingredient-driven cooking • The ability to stay calm and deliver during busy service • Strong teamwork and communication skills • High standards of food hygiene and safety (food hygiene certificate preferred) • Flexibility across brunch and dinner service, including weekends • Ambition! We want someone who wants to grow, not just show up.
SCHEDULE
• Day and evening shifts • Weekend availability required • 40 hours per week
WHAT YOU'LL GET
• £15-£18 per hour depending on experience (~£31,200–£37,440 p/a) • 40-hour contract • 28 Days Annual Holiday • Pension Contributions • Staff discounts on food and drinks • Discounted stays at Kip & Nook for you and your loved ones • Access to our on-site wellness facilities (saunas, ice baths and padel courts) • A people-first team that values personality as much as skill • Real scope for progression into a Head Chef role as Alberto's grows • The chance to be part of something genuinely exciting from day one
