Title
Family cook needed soon at country house in Wiltshire.
Employer
Luke Guinness

We are looking for a live-in family cook who is happy cooking most days for 3 or 4 people, but is equally at home cooking for 20, or even 30 in rarer events.  Sunday lunch is usually 8- 16 people, for example. We don't need anything fancy, but the applicant must understand food and flavour and be open to all types of food from around the world and be proficient in gluten free cooking.

 

We have a kitchen garden, so the primary focus is to use that as much as possible. The job will be aiding and complementing a resident carer who will be working alongside. Another local staff member will be sought to help alongside with serving etc (this could however be a partner or friend of the cook as accommodation does have 2 beds).

 

Days would be Thurs-Mon. Menu curation, shopping, kitchen cleanup, larder/freezer stock management, and serving/clearing. 2-3 shoot weekends/yr. Christmases essential.

 

Qualifications Requested
Must have prior experience of cooking for numbers
