Chef de Partie Saltash, England
Job description
Crocadon Restaurant is a soil centric food and farming project; led by chef Dan Cox. We manage our own flock of rare breed sheep and the majority of produce is grown on site. Our intention is to create produce of the highest quality, working with nature to create a complete, full circle, bio secure system that feeds and nourishes our guests. The farm dictates everything that we do in the restaurant, reflecting what is in the fields to our guests. We have recently been awarded a Michelin green star within our first 6 months of operation.
We are currently open for dinner Thursday to Saturday and Sunday lunch. Our menus follow a ‘set menu’ format, although we follow a typical fine dining format our service style is informally informative with a quality guest experience at the fore. We are on the lookout for an organised, well mannered, approachable chef de partie to join our team.

We would like someone who has a desire to learn about food systems, good produce and quality nutritious food.
