Senior Chef

Where The Light Gets In is looking for a Senior Chef to join the team. We are an intimate restaurant serving up to 40 guests a night in our open kitchen/dining room. We serve a blind tasting menu of only seasonal ingredients, employing a sustainable zero-waste approach to harness our creativity. Our growing space (The Landing Garden CIC) is just a few minutes from the restaurant and where produce is harvested for the menu and a place the team are encouraged to spend time and help with its upkeep. Two years ago, we received a Green Michelin Star and this year were also awarded a fourth AA rosette.

At WTLGI we consider the team as a whole without boundaries or restrictions. Both teamwork and clear communication are integral to our goal which is to deliver an inspiring and educational experience to both ourselves and to our guests. Every day we push to better ourselves, be it in our service, our food, our sustainability programme or in forming a tighter unity and understanding within the core team. 

As with all of our roles, we often work autonomously. Here there will be the opportunity to create, develop and produce dishes independently. We must also always be conscious and seasonally forward-thinking regarding produce.

If you have ambition, dedication and believe in the purpose of your craft, get in touch and become part of our team. The ideal candidate will have at least 2 years’ experience in a similar environment, be intuitive, organised, openminded, have excellent timekeeping and take pride in their work.

Trial shifts will be required as part of the application process.
