showcase excellence throughout the decades, both nationally and internationally.
This is a rare opportunity for someone to be the custodian of The Bath Priory's
next culinary journey.
We are looking for an outstanding leader, an
inspirational figure and culinary expert with 4 to 5 AA Rosette achievement;

our culinary offering, from breakfast through to afternoon tea and
celebratory meals, so that flavour and fun are always guaranteed.

restaurant)
* We are blessed to be set in

Somerset, England, known for and named after its Roman-built baths. Bath is in
the valley of the River Avon, 97 miles west of London and 11 miles southeast of
Bristol.
