Join the Culinary Movement : Sous Chef Wanted for a Luxury Tented Camp in the Karoo

About Us :

Set against the wild beauty of the Karoo, our new luxury tented lodge is not your average safari stay. Were redefining what high-end bush dining looks (and tastes) like from sunrise breakfasts and elevated picnic baskets to fire-cooked dinners under the stars. If youre a food-obsessed, guest-driven, detail-loving chef with serious style you might be exactly who were looking for.

This role is not for the faint-hearted.

Position : Sous Chef

This is your chance to step into a kitchen thats all about flair, finesse, and flavour. As Sous Chef, youll be second-in-command but first in precision helping lead a talented team to deliver unforgettable meals in an unforgettable setting.

What Youll Be Doing :

  • Support the Head Chef in leading day-to-day kitchen operations
  • Ensure every dish from high tea to harvest-style dinners is on point
  • Keep the kitchen running like a dream, even when the pressures on
  • Mentor junior staff and help build a strong, supportive brigade
  • Oversee food prep, stock levels, and kitchen cleanliness like a pro
  • Bring creativity to the menu while honouring local ingredients
  • Work across services : breakfast, lunch, high tea, dinner, picnics, and private dining
  • Make sure every plate reflects our commitment to quality, taste, and luxury
  • Ensure compliance with all health, safety, and hygiene standards

What Success Looks Like :

  • Flawless food that gets rave reviews and second helpings
  • A team that trusts you and grows under your guidance
  • Creative specials and elevated lodge classics
  • Clean service, clean books, and clean plates
  • Guests who remember the food and the feeling
  • What You Bring to the Pass :

  • Minimum 2 years in a similar role, within luxury lodges, boutique hotels, or fine dining
  • Solid technical skills and a cool head during service
  • Passion for great food and even better guest experiences
  • A love for nature, seasonality, and local ingredients
  • Excellent communication and a collaborative spirit
  • Knowledge of food safety and kitchen hygiene practices
  • Confidence, curiosity, and a commitment to consistency
  • Why Join Us?

  • Competitive salary
  • Live and work in one of the most stunning natural settings in the country
  • A brand-new kitchen to make your mark on
  • Career growth in a luxury lodge thats doing things differently
  • Be part of a small, dynamic team redefining bush hospitality
  • How to Apply :

    Send us your CV.. Let your food philosophy and personality shine were not just hiring skills, were hiring soul.

    Due to high volumes of applications, if you havent heard from us in two weeks, please consider your application unsuccessful.

    Come cook with us. Where the Karoo meets creativity, and luxury has real flavour.
