Outline of Role Expectations
As a Peachy Sous Chef you'll be supporting the Head Chef in all areas of the kitchen as well as deputising in his absence. You'll be creative and passionate about food and relish the opportunity to work with great seasonal produce and highest quality ingredients from across the UK. As a natural leader you'll inspire and manage the more junior members of the team and will be organised in your approach to their development.
As well as motivating the kitchen team, you will enthuse and share your knowledge Front of House during daily briefings. In line with our culture and with a number of open kitchens throughout Peach you'll have the ability to stay calm when the pressure mounts. No Gordon Ramsey's here!
We expect high standards in all our kitchens so you'll be able to demonstrate full knowledge of a wide range of cooking methods as expected at this level and be confident creating premium dishes and executing daily specials.
Here's a taste of our 'Food Rules' and some of our Food Heroes to give a better understanding of Peach:
We believe in Honest Plates of Food that are pleasing to the eye. Dishes that show the skill, care & pride that went into it.
We run busy Gastropubs, serving lots of dishes at pace. That means three or four good things, not ten processes.Keep it simple and do it well.
Our Heroes: Rowley Leigh, Simon Hopkinson, Peter Gordon, Yotam Ottolenghi, Gary Rhodes, Raymond Blanc, Hugh Fearnley-WhittingstallJamie Oliver & Tom Kerridge
Day to day:
Negotiating with suppliers and driving quality, and strengthen relationships
Produce menus to standard, running the kitchen to holding the brigade to account
Organise and hold meetings for team, good communicator and inspirer
Using food and cleaning order sheets to avoid running of or accumulating stock
Demonstrate understanding of seasons
Writing of specials
Understanding of food cost and achievement of GP
Ensure HACCAP and all legal documents are accurate and up to date
Ability to write rota to ensure staffing levels are correct and wage cost is achieved
Ensure an organised kitchen, with accurate MEP sheets
Knowledge of relevant kitchen language, ingredients cost and selling price
Live the Peach Values
