Set in the heart of the stunning Clifton Village, overlooking the iconic Avon Gorge, Hotel du Vin Avon Gorge is preparing for one of the busiest and most rewarding times of the year, and we're looking for a talented Banqueting Chef to lead the kitchen operation for our events programme.

From glamorous Christmas party nights and elegant winter weddings to corporate lunches, private dining experiences, celebrations and seasonal dinners, you'll take ownership of the banqueting kitchen during a packed calendar of events.

We're looking for a chef who genuinely enjoys events catering, understands the importance of organisation and preparation, and takes pride in producing quality dishes at scale without compromising on presentation or flavour.

Ability to lead a kitchen team during busy service periods
Excellent organisational and time management skills
A passion for fresh food and consistently high standards
Someone who enjoys the buzz and variety that comes with hotel banqueting

This is a fantastic opportunity to work in one of Bristol's most recognisable hotel locations, leading a varied and exciting events operation while delivering unforgettable experiences for guests celebrating some of life's biggest occasions.
