Cruising for more than 50 years, European Waterways is the owner and operator of a fleet of 12 luxury hotel barges located in France, Holland, Scotland & Ireland measuring from 30 to 39m.

These barges can accommodate 8, 10 or 12 passengers maximum, depending on the size of the barge and have a crew of 5 to 6 people including, at least, a pilot/captain, a tour guide/deckhand, a chef, and a host.

Guests come onboard for a 6-night all-inclusive cruise. Our goal is to provide them with the best service to ensure they enjoy a truly unique experience.

Our season runs from mid-March to mid-November (for the majority of our boats).

We are looking for a Chef for our barge running in Ireland near Glasson from April to October (10 guests and 5 crew members).

The main duties of a Chef are:

Each day you should offer hot options for the breakfast, a 3-course lunch or a buffet style lunch, amuse bouche for the pre-dinner and a 4-course dinner. Please note, 3 lunches are taken offshore.
The menu should be healthy, balanced, includes fresh local products, regional specificities and adapted to guest dietary requirements.

- Maintenance and general cleaning of the galley (respect the HACCP rules, check the fridge temp, etc.)
- Cooking for crew
- Stock control
- Shopping according to the budget twice a week
- Cooking demonstration once a week
- You benefit from a previous experience in fine dining, chalet or yacht.

You know how to work both independently and in a team.

You are creative and willing to share your knowledge.

Our crew members are provided with food and accommodation on board our boats during the season.
