Head Chef

The hotel is due to embark on a multi-million pound transformation therefore experience of taking a restaurant kitchen through a repositioning project would be highly desirable. At launch, our restaurant will be the most exciting place to eat and drink in Bath and beyond with beautifully designed dining area with open plan kitchen where the team will prepare local, seasonal ingredients over open fire.

Experience of working with the very best fresh, seasonal, local ingredients and cooking over open fire are essential.

You will have the opportunity to really make your mark in the local restaurant scene and will drive exceptional standards with your team. We are a people first organisation and you will have a proven track record of building, developing and retaining a first class brigade. A background in (very) busy, fast moving, city centre restaurants is highly desirable.

As one of the first Georgian buildings to be built in Bath, The Francis Hotel was once home to 18th century architect John Wood the Elder who was the inspiration behind the first Georgian stone buildings of Queen Square, the Royal Crescent and The Circus. The hotel has been a huge part of Bath's history ever since. Working with award-winning interior designers 3DReid, the design concept planned for the hotel and all 98 bedrooms will take inspiration from the Georgian era whilst appreciating all the modern amenities and touches that today's traveller expects.
