Job Description:

The Belfry Hotel & Resort is an award-winning hotel, home to 300+ luxurious bedrooms and suites, several restaurants and bars, events and meetings spaces, a leisure club and spa. Our three golf courses, including The Brabazon, are recognised as world-class, and home to this year's Betfred British Masters. Whether you're drawn to our iconic golf courses, the serenity of the spa, the excitement of guest services, or our behind-the-scenes operations, there's a place for you in our vibrant team.

We are writing a new and exciting chapter in the history of The Belfry. A major expansion and renovation project has begun at our resort, due for completion in Autumn 2025. With a substantial investment in excess of 80 million, we are enriching our resort including the addition of a new event space, The Masters Suite, 149 extra bedrooms, a state-of-the-art leisure club, and much more.

We believe in taking care of our team just as much as we do our guests. That's why we were named in the 2024 Caterer's Top 30 Best Places to Work, as well as Springboard's 2024 Best Employer. So, join us on our journey as we unveil a new and unparalleled resort.

The Belfry Hotel & Resort is looking for a dynamic and experienced Senior Sous Chef to join our Banqueting Kitchen Team. We are renowned for our outstanding service and exceptional events, and we need a talented individual to help us continue delivering exceptional culinary experiences across a wide variety of events.

The on-target earning potential for this role is a 42,800 annual salary, comprising a base salary of 40,000 supplemented by an estimated 2,800 in gratuities per annum, ensuring a rewarding compensation package.

About the role

As Senior Sous Chef, you will play a crucial role in helping our Head Chef manage and oversee the operations of our busy Banqueting Kitchen, which services 24 banqueting rooms plus our brand-new Master Suite, set to open in August 2025 with a combined capacity of over 1,470 guests. This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of a growing team and contribute to the development of our facilities, especially with the upcoming opening of the new Master Suite.

You will be leading a team in a high-volume, fast-paced environment, ensuring that all food prepared meets the highest standards of quality, presentation, and hygiene. Your experience in a high-pressure kitchen will be key to supporting the Head Chef, overseeing the kitchen staff, and maintaining consistency during peak service times.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Support the Head Chef in overseeing the day-to-day operation of the Banqueting Kitchen, and managing the team.
  • Take charge of food preparation, production, and presentation for banquets, events, and functions.
  • Maintain strict food safety and hygiene standards at all times.
  • Assist in training, motivating, and developing junior kitchen team.
  • Ensure efficient stock control and manage kitchen supplies.
  • Ensure that each service runs smoothly, ensuring quality and consistency.
  • Be an ambassador for the team and the resort, promoting a positive kitchen culture.

Ideal Candidate:

  • You'll come from a fast-paced, high-volume kitchen environment, with a strong background in banqueting and event catering.
  • Proven experience in a Senior Sous Chef or similar position within a large-scale operation.
  • Excellent leadership and communication skills with the ability to manage a diverse team.
  • Strong organisational and time-management skills, with an ability to work under pressure.
  • Passionate about delivering exceptional food and maintaining high culinary standards.
  • A keen interest in developing new ideas and contributing to the growth of the resort.
