Senior Sous Chef/Head Chef required for small restaurant company (one bistro, one fine dining) with associated wedding and event catering, based in Roxbury in the Catskills. Full-time accommodation with all bills paid available for the right applicant. Full-time position, until end of September is fine, or could be ongoing. Requirements - you will primarily be the lead chef in a casual fine dining restaurant. This is not a sloppy chicken parm story, but equally, though good quality, it’s casual, not pretentious. You will know how to make chicken stock, braise a short rib, clean a salmon etc etc. You must be capable of supervising others, though it is a small team. You will occasionally be lead chef in the bistro banging out quality burgers, steaks and wings etc. Catering experience is a bonus, though not essential. The position is primarily restaurant work. The restaurant work is hands-on; you will be cooking, mostly nights, not standing at the pass checking ticket times. Hours are reasonable, five or six days per week, no constantly covering for other staff, but you will be required to cover occasional staffing gaps if they occur. You must be responsible and, professional in your approach. If you have any addictions, abuse alcohol etc, do not apply, it will show, and you will not last with us. It’s an easygoing, decent environment with a likeable team. Roxbury is a quiet little town, without a vehicle, you will be stranded. Please text, call or e-mail if you are interested to discuss further, thank you!
