Full job description

Where fresh local produce, creativity, and countryside charm come together - and no two days (or dishes) are the same!

  • Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire
  • Competitive Salary + Tips
  • ~40 Hours per Week
  • Permanent Contract

Barra Castle Farmshop is looking for a talented Head Chef to lead the kitchen in our busy and growing café, set in the beautiful Aberdeenshire countryside near Oldmeldrum.

We’re a kitchen that prides itself on proper food, made with great ingredients, and a bit of personality on the plate - not the same dishes you’ll find everywhere else. Our aim is simple: food that customers come back for, talk about, and remember.

This is a rare opportunity for a chef who wants to work with fresh, seasonal produce in a growing business, while enjoying a more balanced lifestyle than many traditional hospitality roles.

It’s equally suited to an experienced Head Chef looking for a fresh challenge, or a strong Sous Chef / Senior Chef ready to step up into their first kitchen leadership role, with real scope to shape the future of the food here.

Why Join Us?

  • Competitive salary + tips
  • More balanced working pattern than many traditional kitchens
  • Work with fresh, local, seasonal ingredients
  • Freedom to develop menus and daily specials
  • Opportunity to cater for events and private functions
  • A supportive, friendly team
  • Staff meals
  • Stunning rural location
  • Potential to grow with an ambitious business
  • Chance to put your stamp on a developing food offering

The Role

You’ll take full ownership of the kitchen day-to-day, leading service and ensuring consistently high standards across every dish.

You’ll be expected to cook food that is both well-executed and a little bit different - the kind of dishes that get people talking.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead daily kitchen service
  • Create and develop seasonal menus and specials
  • Maintain food safety, hygiene, and compliance standards
  • Manage stock control, ordering, and supplier relationships
  • Train, support, and motivate junior team members
  • Manage GP, margins, and minimise waste
  • Maintain consistency, quality, and presentation standards

About You

We’re looking for someone who:

  • Has strong chef leadership experience
  • Is currently a Head Chef, or a Sous Chef ready to step up
  • Can handle a busy service without losing focus or standards
  • Cares about flavour, presentation, and fresh ingredients
  • Is calm, organised, and hands-on in the kitchen
  • Leads by example and treats the team with respect
  • Can adapt when things change (and they sometimes will)
  • Wants a better work-life balance without compromising on quality

Ideal Background

Experience in a café, restaurant, bistro, hotel or gastro pub is all welcome.

Location

Barra Castle Farmshop, Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire, AB51 0BB

Own transport is necessary due to rural location.
