We are looking for talented and experienced chefs to take on the challenge of running our busy summer restaurants. Whether based in our deli prep kitchen or in our open restaurant kitchens producing quality dishes, our chefs are dedicated team players who share our commitment and passion for delivering exceptional guest experiences.
Our kitchen team provides an array of interesting varied meal options to suit all tastes, across four busy restaurants focusing mainly on a mix of Mediterranean and Modern European cuisine. We also host a number of weekly events, including a Food Festival with ‘street food’ style pop ups and long table feasts.
The Club is home to two busy restaurants: The Terraces, open for lunch and dinner, seats around 80 covers with a menu featuring dishes cooked on the barbeque and fire table. Tasi is open daily for breakfast, serving a balance of healthy options and old favourites and also provides an informal setting for lunch with Mediterranean bistro-style dishes.
The Peli Deli Kitchen offers a laid back alternative to our busy club restaurants where our guests can enjoy simple Italian influenced food, done well. The most recent addition to the Peligoni family is Mikro Nisi, a short drive along the coast from the club – a modern Greek fish taverna open for lunch and dinner daily with a sharing, mezze style menu inspired by local ingredients and its seafront setting.
Throughout the low season we also host our Guest Chef Series. Now in its seventh year, accomplished chefs join us each week working directly with our kitchen team to showcase their talent and produce a delicious and exciting menu to dazzle foodie fans, staff and guests alike. In previous years we have been joined by Ellis Barrie, Jackson Boxer, Neil Rankin, Tom Brown, James Cochran, Romy Gill, Tim Siadatan, The Happy Pear and Gill Meller, to name a few.
With our regular weekly agenda, the Guest Chef Series and a sprinkling of weddings and private parties throughout the season, there is plenty for our kitchen teams to get stuck into. We are looking for a team of experienced chefs to join us this summer.
