Head Chef - The Farm Shop, Mayfair

- Incredible Industry Leading Benefits

Located over two floors, Farm Shop will sell meat, cheese and charcuterie, wine, cider, honey, and a foraged range produced with ingredients from our 1,000-acre farm in Somerset, alongside products from carefully selected farmers, growers and makers from the South-West. Featuring a dedicated butchery counter, deli, cheese, charcuterie, and other Farm Shop delights, customers will also be able to purchase charcuterie, cheeses from our cheese room, and wines from our cellar to enjoy on the premises.
