Fancy cooking in one of the most beautiful spots in Groningen? Come and work at Garnwerd aan Zee.
Are you a sous-chef who loves cooking delicious food, variety and a good atmosphere in the kitchen? Then we’re looking for you.
At Garnwerd aan Zee, you’ll be working in a unique location right on the banks of the Reitdiep. From a busy summer’s day on the terrace to a lavish dinner, a wedding or a big party: no two days are the same here.
We are looking for a chef who can take their place in the kitchen independently, but who, above all, wants to be part of a friendly and ambitious team.
What are you going to do?
As a sous-chef, you and your colleagues are responsible for everything that comes out of our kitchen. You’ll be working in a spacious, modern kitchen and will be given plenty of freedom to practise your craft to the full.
- Independently preparing and cooking lunch and dinner dishes;
- Ensuring quality, taste and presentation;
- Contributing ideas for new dishes and our menu;
- Mise-en-place and thorough preparation of the kitchen;
- Working alongside the kitchen team during busy periods;
- Preparing food for parties, weddings, drinks receptions and other events.
One day you’re serving a busy lunch and dinner service, and the next day we’re preparing a big party, a buffet or a multi-course dinner. It’s precisely this variety that makes working at Garnwerd aan Zee so special.
What do we offer you?
- A good salary commensurate with your experience;
- A working week of 32 to 38 hours;
- Hours and working days to be agreed;
- A modern and professionally equipped kitchen;
- A great deal of freedom and responsibility in your role;
- Opportunity to contribute ideas on dishes and the menu;
- Opportunities for personal development and career progression;
- An enthusiastic team with an informal and friendly working atmosphere;
- Varied work: from à la carte to weddings, events and large parties;
- And, of course: working in a beautiful location by the water.
And yes, our staff get-togethers are also just great fun.
Who are we looking for?
Above all, we’re looking for someone who’s passionate about the role and keen to become part of our team.
- Experience as a sous-chef;
- Able to work independently and in an organised manner;
- You can stay calm when things get hectic;
- Has a positive attitude and thinks in terms of solutions;
- Enjoys working with colleagues;
- Is creative and enjoys trying new things;
- Flexible availability is required. Fixed days off may be possible by mutual agreement.
If you don’t meet every requirement but still think you’d be a good fit for us, please do get in touch. Experience is important, but we consider enthusiasm, a passion for the role and the right attitude to be just as important.
