Join White Rabbit Hospitality as Chef de Partie | Rusacks St Andrews | OTE £16.20 per hour

Cook where golf's greatest stage meets Scotland's finest produce.

Rusacks St Andrews sits directly above the 18th fairway of the Old Course, one of the most recognised views in world sport. Behind that view is a kitchen with serious ambition: Scottish produce handled properly, menus that change with the season, and a brigade that cares about every plate leaving the pass. As Chef de Partie, you'll own your section in a kitchen that guests travel from across the world to eat in.

White Rabbit Hospitality is a fast growing, multi brand hospitality group with a vision to be the world's leading hospitality incubator. Rusacks St Andrews is one of our flagship properties, sitting alongside The Randolph Oxford, Graduate Cambridge, Lina Stores and Kricket. For a chef who wants to build a proper career, this is a kitchen worth committing to.

This isn't a role where you'll be parked on one section and forgotten. You'll cook across à la carte, breakfast, events and private dining, work with suppliers who deliver some of the best seafood, beef and game in Scotland, and be pushed by senior chefs who want to see you progress. If you take pride in your mise en place and your plates, we want to hear from you.

Everything we do is grounded in four values: Hospitality is at our core, We do the right thing, We pursue excellence, and We are all entrepreneurs. These aren't wall art, they're how we work every single day.

OUR VALUES, IN EVERY SERVICE

HOSPITALITY IS AT OUR CORE: You understand that great food is an act of hospitality. Every plate you send is somebody's celebration, post round dinner or once in a lifetime trip.

WE DO THE RIGHT THING: You work with integrity. You follow the process, you look after your colleagues, and you hold your standards on the quiet shifts as well as the busy ones.

WE PURSUE EXCELLENCE: You sweat the details. Seasoning, temperature, consistency, timing. You know excellence is built plate by plate, service by service.

WE ARE ALL ENTREPRENEURS: You own your section. You prep, you anticipate, you flag what's needed before you're asked.

  • Taking full ownership of your designated section and delivering consistent, high quality output across every service

  • Working across breakfast, lunch, dinner, events and private dining as the business demands
