Join the catering team at Marchants Hill

Welcome to Marchants Hill, a busy, vibrant centre set within 45 acres of beautiful Surrey countryside. For a Chef, it’s a great place to build your experience in a large-scale, fast-paced catering operation where no two days are quite the same.

During our busiest periods, our catering team prepares and serves meals for up to 500 guests and 120 colleagues. You’ll work alongside an experienced Catering Manager, Head Chef, six Chefs and a team of Catering Assistants.

Alongside our main dining room, we also have a smaller dedicated dining space catering for groups with specific requirements, including faith groups and guests with SEND. For an experienced Chef, there’s the opportunity to take the lead in this kitchen, giving you greater ownership of the service while making sure every guest feels considered and well catered for.
