A cook, and possible assistant, is required to do dinner on 24th December and Christmas Lunch on 25th December. Ideally someone local who is a driver who can live out, but accommodation can be offered for someone not local, so open to looking at all options.

Numbers to be confirmed - could be 10-20 including some children aged 5/7/12 but everyone will eat together. There will be some dietaries - a few vegetarians and some gluten/dairy free. The cook should be capable of cooking for large numbers, be organised and able to cater over the Christmas period and completely reliable too. The cook will be required to menu plan, shop, cook, present and clear everything up at the end (so all washing up etc). That is why an assistant will probably need to come with the cook to help with laying and clearing tables, washing up, clearing plates etc.

Meals will be - 24th December - dinner (timings tbc) - canapes and 3 courses plated, then 25th December - nibbles/canapes late morning, then a late Traditional Christmas British Lunch at 3pm ish - turkey and all the trimmings and pudding to be traditional Christmas pudding plus Chocolate log or similar - probably all to be served as a spread but to be confirmed. All the cooking to be done in an open plan kitchen - AGA plus other additional ovens/hobs etc and a back scullery kitchen - but the cook should be happy to be working in an open plan environment, be clean and organised and happy working in a busy family home that has 2 elderly dogs and 2 cats as well.
