Position Overview & Specifications
We're looking for a creative and passionate Head Chef to work with us at our new opening restaurant located on the site of The Courtyard Dairy in the Yorkshire Dales.
We’re dedicated to celebrating the best in British Cheese, and have been working with suppliers from all around the country to create our signature grilled cheese sandwiches and other classic cheese-focused dishes – all seasonal, and made with the best quality produce since 2014 and we are now going to use that experience and turning our hand to making delicious wood-fired pizzas! We are looking for someone with a passion for all things cheese and dough related to open the site and lead and train the team and develop the menu.
