I am looking for a development chef to work with a leading leisure brand who are looking to significantly grow their estate in 2024 and 2025. This is a newly created position to look at how the business can evolve their retail operation. The existing offer is focused on delivering a timely service of quality burgers, pizzas, tapas style small plates, sharing platters, and desserts to a high footfall clientele across corporate , family and group bookings. They are looking to set the standard for their F and B offer in the rapidly expanding competitive socializing market and this position will deliver that ambition. Responsibilities include:

• Work with existing partners on developing and evolving their existing range.

We are keen to hear from candidates who ideally have held a similar development chef role and are looking to make their mark within the competitive socializing market of the hospitality industry.
