About Us:

At The Welly we'll be working closely with Somer Valley Farm, and Somer Valley Butchery to introduce a farm-to-fork, nose-to-tail initiative encouraging an ethos of utilizing each available part of the animal.

Our dishes will be paired with beers tailored made by Somer Valley Brewery to offer an enhanced dining experience. In turn, Somer Valley Brewery will utilize barley grown on Somer Valley Farm.

We value locally sourced, high welfare products that offer a more sustainable way of operating. Our belief is that everyone should know where their food comes from.

Chef De Parties are responsible for section management, and must be competent enough to work professionally across all areas in a kitchen. You will have honed your expertise in such a way that you are able to follow an array of recipes independently, and have familiarity with the allergens associated to preparing, cooking, and presenting high-quality dishes during fast paced services.

Part of your duties may require you to work between The Welly, and the Somer Valley Farms production kitchen. The majority of the food preparation will be carried out at the production kitchen, and transported to The Welly for final touches.

This operation is split between two locations, and your time and duties may be divided between these sites to assist team members with the production of restaurant stocks, and Somer Valley Butchery orders.

Key duties involve adherence to food health and hygiene standards, effective rotation of food production and food inspection, and quality and wastage control.

At this level individuals need to be driven by the passion of cookery to produce quality products when under pressure. You should be motivated by cooking on the line, learning to run the pass, developing lasting relationships with local suppliers, and learning about new menus, using seasonal ingredients.

You will need to be able to work effectively as part of a kitchen team, communicate clearly with chefs of all levels, and use constructive criticism to build personal technique.

An option to become more involved with Somer Valley Farms, and the Somer Valley Butchery will be available to candidates who wish to develop foundational techniques involved in all areas of business.
