Sous Chef - Nomadic Dinners - Chalfont Saint Peter

We are looking for Sous Chefs for Nomadic Dinners based in Chalfont St Giles, Bucks. We create feasts in the forest inspired by the countryside around us, seasonal, veg-led food with a zero-waste approach, with lots of ferments and cooking over fire.
You will work alongside the head chef and a team of chefs, foragers, growers and local suppliers and deliver high-quality creative dishes. You will thrive within the limitations of cooking in the forest. So get back to nature and swap the kitchen for our woodland. Event catering experience preferred. You will be responsible for the delivery of the menu when the head chef is absent.
We run corporate & private events midweek on an ad-hoc basis, and on the weekends, we run events for the public. Shifts are flexible. The right candidate will receive a good rate of pay. We ask suitable candidates to come down and do a paid trial shift with us before committing to confirmed dates in our calendar. Our calendar is already looking very busy. Invoices are paid weekly. The rate of pay is based on experience.
