Head Chef

New Today

*Head Chef – LULA*

*Location: Gwithian Beach, Cornwall*

*Shared accommodation overlooking the ocean available*

*About LULA*

LULA is a well-established, high-performing beachfront restaurant at Gwithian Beach, Cornwall. Known for bold, flavour-led food with East Coast American influence, we operate in one of the most iconic coastal settings in the UK.

Alongside our busy seasonal trade, LULA has built a strong and growing reputation for weddings and large private events, hosting celebrations in a truly unique beach setting.

We are now entering a new phase of growth, with a wider hospitality project in development that will expand our offering over the coming years.

We are looking for a Head Chef who wants to play a leading role in that journey.

*Accommodation*

Shared accommodation is available for the right candidate, positioned overlooking Gwithian Beach.

Step outside and you’re moments from the sand - ready for a morning surf, an evening walk, or just living and working in one of Britain’s most beautiful coastal locations.

This is an opportunity for someone who values both career progression and lifestyle.

*The Role*

As Head Chef, you will:

* Lead all kitchen operations at LULA
* Develop and evolve seasonal menus aligned with our bold, flavour-led concept
* Deliver high-quality weddings and large-scale events alongside busy summer service
* Drive GP performance and maintain strong food margins
* Recruit, train and build a motivated kitchen team
* Contribute to menu direction as the wider hospitality project evolves

This role requires someone confident managing both high-volume service and the organisation and detail required for weddings.

*What We’re Looking For*

* Proven experience as Head Chef or strong Senior Sous ready to step up
* Experience delivering weddings or large-scale events
* Strong leadership and team management skills
* Commercial awareness and solid GP control
* Calm under pressure during peak season
* Someone looking for long-term involvement in a growing brand

*What We Offer*

* Competitive salary (dependent on experience)
* Shared beachside accommodation
* A leadership role within a growing hospitality brand
* Creative input into future development
* A genuine coastal lifestyle opportunity

This is not just another Head Chef position.

It’s a chance to lead in a restaurant with real momentum - and to help shape what comes next.
