About Us:

We’re proud to be part of Classic Lodges – a collection of eight characterful hotels set in some of the UK’s most captivating destinations. Each of our hotels has its own personality, but we’re united by one shared purpose.

Our purpose is simple and powerful: to create meaningful experiences that connect people, places, and memory.

That means we don’t just offer stays, we create moments that matter. Whether it’s a relaxing escape, a special celebration, or a memorable business event, we focus on the details that turn stays into stories our guests will always remember.

If you’re someone who takes pride in what you do, values genuine hospitality, and wants to be part of a team that makes a real difference to every guest experience, you’ll feel right at home with us.

The Opportunity: Join our friendly team of staff at The Salutation Hotel. Work as part of a small, committed team of chefs, delivering all aspects of food production in the hotel. As a business we are committed to the growth and development of our people.

What We’re Looking For:

Our ideal candidate will have a genuine passion for producing great food, with good attention to detail and be able to work independently, as well as part of a committed small team. You will be required to be flexible in carrying out your duties and be able to communicate positively with the food service team.

You must have food production experience with preferably a food hygiene certificate level two.
