We are recruiting a confident, passionate and enthusiastic Sous Chef to join our current team at The Scottish Cafe & Restaurant. We are looking for someone with creativity and a desire to work with fresh, simple, sustainable and local ingredients. Our Sous Chefs work closely with our Senior Head Chef, Head Chef and the wider kitchen team to produce consistently beautiful food, made from scratch, that is tasty and satisfying.
All our kitchens buy directly from artisan suppliers and receive daily deliveries in the growing season from our very own kitchen garden. We have 3 Bee Hives with over 50,000 bees and when nature has been generous we are able to share the honey and the honeycomb with the kitchens.
To join our team you must be familiar with all of the daily operations of a fast paced efficient kitchen and have strong leadership and communication skills. You will be assisting in planning and directing food preparation, developing new menu items within our vision and managing, training and supporting the kitchen team ensuring a happy, efficient and knowledgeable working team and environment. We are also an Event space and our beautiful venue is open outside of the gallery opening times to host weddings, birthdays, corporate and business events as well as offering offsite catering. We are looking for an experienced Chef who can juggle the many different elements of running multiple services - an afternoon tea event, a normal lunch service and a evening wedding - sometimes all in one day!
We are a family-run business with three award-winning restaurants in Edinburgh City Centre: Contini George Street; The Scottish Cafe & Restaurant at the Scottish National Gallery and Cannonball Restaurant & Bar. All our venues offer something different, this allows us to offer working flexibility, our contracts can offer flexible hours, days and shift patterns to meet the needs of a healthy work life balance.
