This role is all about healthy nutritious food. The client loves fresh flavours and simple well presented food with the occasional sweet treat. Usually it is cooking for two people, occasionally four people.
If you are looking to make the transition to Private Chef from Restaurant Chef, this may well be the role for you, as full training and support will be given.
Even if you already have some experience in working as a chef in private households, we will train you to provide the service the way the client prefers. The job is 4 days per week (sometimes 5 days a week) for dinner only (approx 3pm to 7.30pm). Usually these days are during the week (Monday to Friday) very occasionally the client will ask for a Saturday or a Sunday.
How to shine: we are looking for chefs who are good listeners (taking the order), flexible (timings may change) and chefs who are as comfortable cooking in the kitchen as they are talking to the client. Ability to interact with the client is very important. Being a private chef is about listening to the client’s wishes and asking for clarification when needed.
You need to work cleanly and tidily. You will need to understand the basics of nutrition: protein, fats and carbs. You will need to be happy and relaxed working in someone’s home.
As with most private chef roles, this job includes keeping the kitchen clean and tidy, laying the table and shopping for food. It is ESSENTIAL that you have your own vehicle for daily food shopping.
You must already be in the U.K. and be legal to work in the U.K.
Please apply with your cv and photos of food you have cooked.
Thank you for your interest in this role.
