Head Chef
Are you a creative Chef with a deep love of British produce, a passion for provenance and a desire to cook with real purpose? We’re looking for a Head Chef to lead the kitchen at The Knot, Courteenhall’s new sustainability-led destination, due to open late Summer 27. With full creative control and the chance to build a small, values-driven team from day one. You’ll be someone who thrives on cooking with the seasons, enjoys nurturing talent, and balances creative flair with simplicity and restraint. If you’re an experienced Head Chef or Senior Sous Chef from a seasonal or sustainability-led kitchen, ready to bring the best of the land onto the plate, this could be the role for you. From working alongside our grower, regenerative farming team, to whole-animal butchery, fermenting and preserving, mentoring local apprentices, and keeping the kitchen low-waste, commercially sharp and fully EHO compliant, this is a varied role where you’ll learn, contribute and make a genuine impact. The Knot brings together a farm shop, restaurant, and health and educational spaces, all rooted in Courteenhall’s award-winning regenerative farming estate, as we work with Michelin Green Star and B Corp values. This is primarily a daytime role, including weekends, offering a healthy work-life balance, with occasional seasonal suppers and evening events woven into the calendar. If you’re someone who loves great ingredients, cares about where food comes from and wants your work to contribute to a more sustainable future, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today, application closing date 1st March 2027, although this role may close earlier if sufficient applicants are received. Salary available on application, full-time 40 hours, including weekends and Bank Holidays.

You’ll bring supervisory or management experience from a fast-paced deli, farm shop, food hall or food retail environment, a flexible, hands-on approach, and a real passion for provenance and quality.
