Imagine working near the beach, in a freshly renovated hotel, with a great team, a quality kitchen, and the opportunity to build something special.
We're looking for a talented, hands‐on Wood‐Fired Pizza Chef / Chef de Partie who knows their way around a pizza oven and is ready for more than just service.
Someone who takes pride in their craft, brings energy to the kitchen, and wants to develop into a future leader.
More than making great pizza

- Monitor stock levels and assist with ordering and food preparation
- Follow food safety standards and kitchen procedures
- Work collaboratively with the head chef and kitchen team
Skills and Experience:
- Previous experience as a pizza chef and operating a wood‐fired pizza oven.
- Ability to work efficiently under pressure in a fast‐paced kitchen
- Excellent attention to detail and a passion for quality food
- Reliable, organised, and a strong team player
What We Offer:
- Learn to read and understand a P&L, manage food costs and work within budgets

- Opportunities for innovation & progression
If you are passionate about pizza and have the skills to deliver exceptional wood‐fired pizzas, we would love to hear from you.
