Senior Sous Chef

Description

Senior Sous Chef – Hungry for More? (We thought you'd appreciate the pun.) You know the difference between following recipes and creating them.

Between simply cooking...

and caring where every ingredient comes from, who produced it and why provenance matters.

If words like provenance, seasonality, local suppliers and simply delicious makes you smile, we're probably speaking your language.

At Dartmoor Lodge, we're looking for an exceptional Senior Sous Chef who's ready to become a Head Chef.

Not tomorrow...

But with the right support, sooner than you think.

You'll work with our Head Chef, Ed—not for him.

Together you'll create menus, champion fantastic local producers, challenge each other's ideas, develop the team and build a kitchen that delivers food people remember for all the right reasons.

We believe the best dishes start long before the pan gets hot. They start with relationships—with farmers, growers, fishermen, butchers and artisan producers who care as much about their craft as we do ours.

We're looking for someone who:

Loves provenance and believes every great ingredient has a story worth telling.
Thinks creatively without losing sight of what makes food truly memorable.
Thrives on challenge and wants their next role to be their last step before becoming a Head Chef.
Leads with humility, curiosity and respect.
Wants to build something, not just work somewhere.
Our kitchen philosophy... No egos. No shouting. No drama.

Just passionate people, incredible local produce, honest food, shared ideas and a team that has each other's backs.

Because we believe the best kitchens are built on collaboration—not hierarchy.

What's on the menu? A genuine pathway to becoming a Head Chef.

Freedom to create, contribute and influence the menu.

A true partnership with Ed, learning alongside him—not standing behind him.

A kitchen that celebrates provenance, seasonality and food that's simply delicious.

Competitive salary, great benefits and the opportunity to help shape the future of Dartmoor Lodge.

If you're ready to cook with purpose, champion local producers, inspire others and build something you're genuinely proud of...

Let's create something special. Together.
