We're part of something bigger

We're proud to be part of PGL Beyond, a network of educational travel brands which empowers young people to explore, grow and thrive - through exceptional experiences that go beyond the classroom. Together, we're making a difference.

Make a difference as a Chef

You'll be part of a friendly & supportive catering team, reporting into the Head Chef. You'll provide first class nutritious meals for our many hungry guests without the pressure of menu creation or sourcing ingredients from scratch. You'll be responsible for food preparation, cooking, stock ordering & organisation, cost control & coaching of junior team members. You will work a minimum number of late nights, with a Friday or Saturday evening off most weeks (especially outside of our peak season) and limited working over Christmas - this could be the perfect role to develop your career in catering without sacrificing your social life or that all important family time!
