Independent Chef – beachclub by a swimming lake | Tilburg area

Cook in a place where guests spend the day swimming, walking or relaxing in the sun, then sit down for a good lunch or dinner by the water. At this new beachclub in a recreational area near Tilburg, you will work with an accessible menu that goes beyond standard leisure hospitality: from steak and beef burgers to duck breast, creamy truffle pasta, tuna steak and sea bass.

You will work 38 hours per week in a kitchen team of 8 people. The focus is mainly on lunch and dinner. The salary is €19.00 per hour, including holiday allowance and holiday days.

This new hospitality location is based near Alphen, just south of Tilburg. The venue has the feel of a beachclub by a large swimming lake: new, beautifully finished, well-kept and accessible to everyone.

Guests mainly come here for a day in nature, sunshine, swimming and relaxation. After that, they want good food in a setting that offers more than a standard place by the water.

As an Independent Chef, you will be part of the daily kitchen operation. You work according to the chef’s recipes and standards and help keep quality consistent during lunch and dinner service.

Because this is a new concept, there is also room to contribute ideas. Not everything will be fixed from day one. That requires flexibility, but also gives you the chance to help shape how the kitchen will run.

• You prepare dishes for lunch and dinner, with a focus on good meat and fish dishes
• You work on dishes such as steak, beef burgers, duck breast, truffle pasta, tuna steak and sea bass
• You follow the chef’s recipes, working methods and quality standards
• You support the chef with preparation, mise en place and service
• When the chef is absent, you are able to guide, support and correct colleagues where needed
• You work according to HACCP and hygiene regulations
• You help manage stock levels and make sure orders are passed on in time
• You contribute ideas for the menu and the further development of the concept

• You have at least 2 years of experience as an Independent Chef or Chef de Partie
• You can work independently during lunch and dinner service
• You are open to new ideas, techniques and developments in the kitchen
• You are available during evenings and weekends
• You understand that working in a new business requires flexibility
• You enjoy helping to build a new place instead of stepping into a fully fixed structure

• A 38-hour working week
• A salary of €19.00 per hour, including holiday allowance and holiday days
• A seasonal contract, with the possibility of year-round work if it is a good match on both sides
• Work at a new, beautifully finished location by a large swimming lake
• An accessible menu focused on quality, meat, fish and recognisable dishes
• Room to give input on the development of the concept
• A kitchen team of 8 people
• Accommodation on site: your own cabin for €350 per month. The cabin is simple and somewhat primitive, but also has its charm. You do not share the living space with others. The toilet and shower are located in a shared building approximately 100 metres away. The cabin has a bunk bed, a double bed, heating, a small two-burner stove and a sink

This is a role for a chef who wants to cook well in a special place, and who understands that a new concept still needs to grow. You will work at a location where nature, water, sunshine and food come together, and where you do not just join the operation, but help build it.

Send your experience and availability. Then we will see together whether this place is the right fit for you.
