Sous Chef-Suffolk- 20k-Rosette level-Start ASAP

This client's established brigade comprises of a head chef; a sous chef, a pastry/breakfast chef and two commis chefs. They are looking for another Sous chef to strengthen the team to help maintain their 2 AA rosettes as they have held them for 11 years and until recently a Michelin Bib Gourmand.

The kitchen provides breakfast, as well as lunch and dinner. Five shifts are taken by the breakfast chef so it means that the others in the brigade only have to do breakfast once every fortnight. Lunch is a smart pub lunch, very popular with regulars. Dinner is a more elaborate affair and the menu changes daily. It is really important to stress that they pride themselves on serving 'normal' food, albeit nicely presented. Kitchen techniques include a water bath, pac-o-jet and vacuum packer, and they also smoke their own fish and meat. They do not make their own bread as they have a fantastic bakery just yards from them but everything else is made in-house.
Live-in accommodation is available in a modern house just 20 yards from the venue. A charge of £70 per week from the gross salary, which covers rent, rates, energy, etc. The working week is 5 days, with 2 days off back-to-back. 28 days paid holiday per year but certain periods are excluded, e.g. the last 2 weeks of August and the 2 weeks over Christmas and New Year, when they are very busy. They provide chefs' jackets but not trousers and shoes/boots.

Finally, Orford is a beautiful, coastal village but it is quiet. They have two pubs, an oysterage, a great village shop and the aforesaid bakery. However, there is no night life and it will not suit someone who likes the bright lights. Strongly recommend is that the candidates have their own transport. There is a limited bus service, but it is not great, and the nearest railway station is about 20 minutes drive away.
