About Us

Gartlan's traditional Irish bar of Kingscourt, Co. Cavan, under new management by the team behind Cabra Castle, is seeking a passionate, ambitious, and creative Head Chef to launch and lead our new culinary offering.

This role is ideal for a driven, up-and-coming talent eager to make their mark. You will have the unique opportunity to design a menu from scratch, combining traditional Irish pub favourites with modern cooking techniques and seasonal ingredients.

As the culinary lead of this exciting new venture, you will play a hands-on role in shaping the identity of Kingscourt's newest dining destination, including the unique opportunity to help recruit and build your own compact kitchen team (comprising a second chef and kitchen porter support).

Key Responsibilities

Menu Development & Execution: Create and deliver an innovative, high-quality gastro-pub menu, including daily specials and signature dishes that set Gartlan's apart.
Hands-On Cooking: Lead from the front by preparing, cooking, and presenting dishes to the highest standards during service.
Team Building & Supervision: Assist owners in the selection, recruitment, and onboarding of your Second Chef; manage day-to-day operations and supervise kitchen staff.
Kitchen Management: Oversee stock control, ordering, waste management, and kitchen flow in a compact, fast-paced environment.
Sourcing: Champion fresh, locally sourced, and seasonal Irish ingredients.
Compliance: Maintain impeccable standards of food safety, hygiene (HACCP), and kitchen cleanliness.
Brand Collaboration: Partner with owners on food photography, promotional features, and special dining events to drive the business forward.

Requirements

Experience: Proven experience as a Head Chef or strong Sous Chef ready to take the next step, ideally within a gastro-pub or restaurant environment.
Mindset: A versatile, proactive, "can-do" attitude-thriving in a small, close-knit team where everyone rolls up their sleeves.
Leadership: Ability to mentor and lead a small, efficient team.
Communication: Fluent written and spoken English.
Logistics: Valid permission to live and work in Ireland, and the ability to reliably commute to Kingscourt daily.

What We Offer (Benefits)

Creative Freedom: The rare opportunity to build and set up your own kitchen environment and menu in collaboration with supportive, experienced owners.
Team Autonomy: Input into the recruitment of your own Second Chef, allowing you to build a team that fits your workflow.
Operational Support: Dedicated kitchen porter support during peak service hours to keep the kitchen running smoothly.
Key Platform: A high-visibility role to make a name for yourself in the regional food scene, backed by an established hospitality name.
Work Environment: A supportive, friendly, and close-knit working culture.
Reward: Competitive rates of pay (commensurate with experience) and flexibility in roster planning.
