Kitchen Bar jobs in Potters Bar

Obsessed with dough? So are we.

At Tewinbury Farm Hotel, we care deeply about the food we put in front of people. We are an independent, family-run hospitality business rooted in a 700-acre working farm, and everything we do is built around a genuine love of good ingredients, honest cooking, and the satisfaction of watching someone enjoy what you have made. Pizza is no exception — and we are looking for a Pizza Chef who takes the craft as seriously as we do.

The Role

We are looking for a skilled and passionate Pizza Chef to join our kitchen team. This is a hands-on role for someone who understands dough — who respects the process, cares about the detail, and takes pride in producing a consistently excellent product every time the oven fires up.

You will work as part of the wider kitchen brigade, reporting to the Head Chef, and will be responsible for preparing, stretching, and cooking pizzas to a high and consistent standard. Alongside the pizza section, you may be asked to support other areas of the kitchen during quieter periods, so a collaborative and flexible approach is important.

This is a role for someone who is as proud of a perfectly blistered base as they are of a well-balanced topping — someone who sees pizza not as a side act but as a genuine discipline worth doing brilliantly.

Key Responsibilities

Pizza Production & Quality

• Prepare, prove, stretch, and cook pizzas to a consistently excellent standard across every service
• Manage dough production and fermentation schedules to ensure the best possible base — every time
• Ensure every pizza leaving the section meets the required standard of taste, texture, and presentation before it reaches the guest
• Work with the Head Chef to develop and refine the pizza menu, including seasonal specials and topping combinations that reflect the quality of our ingredients
• Make the most of what the farm and our local suppliers have to offer, drawing on seasonal and locally sourced produce wherever possible
• Monitor ingredient levels and communicate ordering requirements to the Head Chef in good time
• Manage prep efficiently to ensure the section is always ready for service — nothing rushed, nothing missing

Food Safety & Allergen Awareness

• Operate in full compliance with food hygiene legislation and the hotel's food safety management system at all times
• Maintain rigorous allergen awareness across all pizza products — knowing your ingredients, communicating accurately, and following procedure without exception
• Complete all relevant daily paperwork, temperature checks, and cleaning records accurately and on time
• Maintain a clean and safe working environment as a non-negotiable standard throughout every shift

Team & Collaboration

• Work as a positive and reliable member of the wider kitchen brigade, supporting other sections when needed
• Communicate clearly with front-of-house teams during service to ensure smooth and timely food delivery
• Bring enthusiasm, creativity, and a collaborative spirit to the section — we want people who are proud of what they make and want to keep getting better
