Head Chef

One of the family...

The clue is in the name. We're a family business through and through - family owned, family run, with a warm family welcome for guests and team alike. Our seven hotels are unique and set in three stunning Scottish locations. Some are big, some are small and all offer good food & drink, great beds and a ton of outdoor and indoor things to do and a fun place to work.

The Ballachulish Hotel

The Ballachulish Hotel is in a spectacular spot.  A place where our guests come to explore but also kick back and soak up our service, food, drink and spectacular views. Our team also know a thing or two about the area as they've scaled mountains, explored lochs and found some much-loved spots to explore.

You'll be a creative Chef that is passionate about food, Scotland's larder and sustainability. As part of a small brigade your focus will be on making decisions on food concepts, presentation of food as well as menu planning.
