Fire is the whole point here. The Priory is a fire-led restaurant built around live flame, whole-beast butchery and proper meat and fish cookery. We dry-age in-house, break down whole animals and cook over coals and wood. If that is the food you care about, this is a kitchen built for you. The kit is serious. Back-to-back lava grill, a large Josper, two ten-grid Rational combi ovens, an induction suite and fryers. You will not be fighting the equipment. The brigade is seven chefs, with up to four on any service, so this is a hands-on head chef role where you lead from the pass and cook, not one where you live in an office. What you will own: Leading the brigade and running the pass across service Menu development with the owner, built on fire, meat and fish and the seasons Food GP and cost control (we run to a 72% dry food GP target) Whole-beast butchery, dry-ageing and supplier relationships Kitchen compliance, standards and developing your chefs
