At Chesfield Downs, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service and creating memorable experiences. Situated in the heart of Hertfordshire, we host a variety of events ranging from intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations for 80-120 guests, and up to 200 during the festive season. We are part of the UK's largest premium golf and country club network, but our focus is building community through our bar and restaurant—where smiles and social connections thrive. Our kitchen plays a central role in achieving this vision.

We are seeking a passionate and generalist Chef who will thrive in our growth-oriented, customer-centric environment. If you love cooking, have the right attitude, and believe in creating joy through food, you’ll feel right at home here.
