Banquet Chef

Be Yourself – Be a Bold Team Player– Be Leonardo

As a Banquet Chef you’ll be right in the heart of the hotel, so we want you to take pride in everything you’ll be doing to support the Head Chef and keep things running like clockwork. Take a deep breath because you’ll be stepping into a busy role! You’ll be passionate about your working area and responsibilities, and thrive under pressure whilst working alongside a vibrant team to exceed our guests’ expectations.

• Have a willingness to learn, adapt and deliver to the high standard of food our guests expect
• Aspire to grow with us - with our excellent Learning and Development programmes, the sky is the limit!
• Have an eagle eye with keen attention to detail
• Be full of beans, however ideas will just be fine too!
