• carefully managing stock levels and controlling wastage;

• working within a generous but precise budget, submitting weekly accounts.

• Maintaining exceptional hygiene standards in the kitchen and ensuring any maintenance issues with kitchen equipment are resolved quickly and efficiently.

• Meals that are provided by the chef are as follows:

• Breakfast - a choice of continental & cooked breakfast (to order);

• Afternoon tea - homemade cakes and/or savoury snacks (prepared each morning);

• Children’s supper - a two course meal (main and dessert) usually served before 6pm;

• Dinner - a three or four course gastronomic menu with paired wines;
