As a Commis Chef at Artfarm, you will be responsible for working along side our band of chefs, learning as you go and taking care of the duties assigned to you. You will be preparing high-quality food for the restaurant, outside catering and events. You will work alongside the Head Chef to create, develop and maintain a fantastic range of dishes that celebrate the produce of our very own farm and the incredible local produce we use.
You will be surrounded by a team with a creative flair and a passion for fresh food and brilliant service with a desire to learn and grow. All striving to go beyond for guests, our team and the community. Cooking on open fire with produce from our very own onsite farm and walled garden. This is what we have been doing for years and we could not be more proud.
Experience in a similar role is required.
About Da Costa
Da Costa has been named and inspired by Artfarm co-founder Iwan Wirth's maternal grandfather, who originated from the small mountainous village of Rivamonte Agordino in the Veneto region of Northern Italy. He emigrated to Switzerland in the early 20th century and opened a restaurant much loved for its simple, honest fare.
A century later, and some 800 miles from that first restaurant, Da Costa continues this glorious culinary adventure.
The menu is an exploration of traditional northern Italian recipes featuring an array of antipasti, homemade pastas and risottos and daily specials cooked over fire.
Using freshly grown seasonal ingredients from the walled garden and surrounding area, our dishes blend the best of both worlds, quintessential Englishness with Italian culinary flair.
