About The Position

Aurelia, the fine dining restaurant at Castle Hill Inn, is seeking a Chef de Partie with a serious commitment to culinary excellence. This is an ideal opportunity for culinarians who are passionate about high-end ingredients, refined technique, and working alongside chefs who care deeply about their craft.

Our kitchen is driven by discipline, curiosity, and a deep respect for the world’s best ingredients- from pristine local shellfish and heritage meats to globally celebrated delicacies.
