What we do? Restoration Yard is a truly special place. Just a few miles from Edinburgh and set within the historic Dalkeith Country Park, it’s the perfect place to eat, shop and restore. Visitors can enjoy a quick bite or caffeine fix in the Coffee Bar, enjoy a delicious breakfast or lunch in our restaurant, The Kitchen; browse handpicked fashion, beauty, food and homeware in our shopping haven, The Store; or focus on wellbeing in our wellness space or outdoor sauna. The Park also provides a stunning background for a variety of events and special occasions.

The role? As Chef de Partie you will be part of a team that create memorable moments whether our guests are with us for a spot of lunch, coffee & cake, or celebrating their wedding day. Combining your creativity with technical skill, you will effectively manage your section, ensure that food is prepared in line with food safety regulations, keep work areas spotless and adhere to best practice in food storage and handling.

The person? A hardworking chef, ideally with a flair for baking, who takes hygiene and cleanliness seriously and demonstrates a proactive approach to maintaining the highest standards in food preparation and kitchen safety. With an eye for detail and the ability to work effectively in a fast paced environment, you will have experience of managing one or more sections in a similar role. Candidates must have a valid Food Hygiene Certificate and an understanding of HACCP principles.
