This is an exciting opportunity to join, work, and lead in a newly built theatre offering a variety of menus.

The Chef will support the Food & Beverage Manager in managing kitchen finances and minimising waste while ensuring full compliance with the Group’s Food Safety Policy and Food Safety Management System at all times.

As a motivated, engaging, and dynamic leader, you’ll have the flair of creativity with a keen eye for detail alongside experience of preparing and successfully delivering a high standard of food services in an events, restaurant, hotel, catering or similar business background producing quality, fresh produce.
