About the job

Do you want to lead the kitchen at a historic castle on South Funen?

Hvedholm Slotshotel seeks an experienced and engaged head chef who wants to put their own gastronomic mark on the kitchen and help develop our dining experiences.

At Hvedholm we work with both à la carte, banquets, conferences and larger events. We therefore need a head chef who can keep a cool head in a busy service and at the same time has an eye for quality, economy and development.

YOUR ROLE

As head chef you will have overall responsibility for the daily operation of the kitchen.

You will among other things be responsible for

  • The kitchen's gastronomic direction and development
  • Menu planning and development of new dishes
  • À la carte, banquets and conferences
  • The daily leadership of the kitchen team
  • Procurement, ingredients and kitchen economics
  • Self-inspection and food safety
  • To ensure high quality and consistency in our food
  • To ensure order, cleaning and hygiene in the kitchen
  • To develop the employees and create a good working environment

We are looking for someone who already has experience as a head chef or sous-chef with a high degree of independent responsibility.

You are professionally strong, structured and quality-conscious – but you are also a leader who can bring people with you.

WHAT DO YOU GET WITH US?

You will have the opportunity to put your own mark on the kitchen at Hvedholm Slotshotel.

We offer

  • An exciting workplace in historic surroundings
  • Great influence on the kitchen's gastronomic development
  • Responsibility and freedom with responsibility
  • A varied daily life with both à la carte, banquets and conferences
  • Opportunity to develop both menus and the team
  • Salary according to qualifications
  • Good staff conditions

The most important thing for us is to find the right person.

If you are an experienced head chef who wants to create something and not just run a kitchen, we would love to hear from you.

We conduct interviews on an ongoing basis and hire when we have found the right match.
