Lead the development of seasonal menus, daily features, and special event offerings.
Elevate tavern-style cuisine through quality ingredients, creativity, and consistent execution.
Maintain the highest standards of food quality, presentation, consistency, and cleanliness.
Ensure compliance with all food safety, sanitation, and HACCP regulations.

Brand and Community Engagement

Help build Helliwell Hall's culinary reputation through exceptional food and memorable guest experiences.
Collaborate with the marketing team to promote the menu through social media, special events, and community partnerships.
Share the story behind the menu, local ingredients, and the culinary experience to strengthen the Helliwell Hall brand.

Qualifications

The ideal candidate will have:

Experience leading a professional kitchen as a Head Chef, Sous Chef, or in another leadership role.
A culinary degree, diploma, or equivalent combination of education and hands-on experience.
Strong culinary skills in menu development, recipe creation, and food presentation.
A passion for elevating tavern-style cuisine through quality, creativity, and consistency.
The ability to lead, coach, and motivate a kitchen team.
An understanding of food costs, inventory management, labour scheduling, and kitchen operations.
Knowledge of HACCP, food safety, sanitation, and regulatory requirements.
The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
Flexibility to work evenings, weekends, and special events.
