👨🍳 Ready to lead the kitchen revolution?
Lifestyle Group is opening a new English pub inside the upcoming Hard Rock Hotel Malta (opening in 2026), and we’re on the hunt for an experienced, creative, and organised Head Chef to take the reins from day one.
This is your chance to own the kitchen launch, craft the menu, build a powerhouse team, and deliver bold, casual food that’s all about quality.
We don’t just want someone to run a kitchen, we want someone to build it from the ground up.
🔥 What you’ll be cooking up:
Lead every detail of the kitchen’s pre-opening; from menu design and equipment setup to picking suppliers and hiring your dream team
Build, train, and inspire a brigade that’s fast, focused, and obsessed with consistency and quality
Create a menu that fits the pub’s vibe: approachable, flavour-packed, and operationally savvy
Keep hygiene, food safety, and quality standards rock-solid every day
Manage food costs, stock, waste, and kitchen flow with a sharp business mindset
Work closely with management to sync the food offering with guest expectations, events, and seasonal trends
Get hands-on during service; lead by example and stay cool when the kitchen heats up
👀 Who we’re looking for:
A seasoned Head Chef or Senior Sous Chef with experience in busy, high-volume British kitchens.
A natural leader who communicates clearly and keeps things running smoothly under pressure
A creative foodie with a practical side who knows how to balance great dishes and P&L numbers
Organised and strategic, especially when it comes to launching a new kitchen
Well-versed in kitchen systems, food safety rules, and supplier management
Fluent in English (extra languages? Even better!)
Ready to work evenings, weekends, and holidays...because greatness never sleeps
🎁 What’s on the menu for you:
A blank canvas to build your kitchen, shape your team, and craft your food identity
A key leadership role in one of Malta’s most exciting new hospitality ventures
Full support from a seasoned management team and a growing group
Competitive salary plus performance bonuses
Real opportunities for long-term growth within Lifestyle Group’s expanding family
