Do you love cooking with seasonal ingredients?

Errington’s Barn is looking for a Chef or Trainee Chef who wants to cook real food, from scratch, on a working Scottish farm.

If you get excited by fresh produce, honest cooking, and learning how ingredients come to life from soil to plate, you’ll feel right at home here.

Set in the countryside of South Lanarkshire, Errington’s Barn is a farm-based kitchen where the ingredients guide the cooking. Vegetables, herbs, meats, dairy — much of what you’ll use is grown or raised right here. This is a place for people who care about food with integrity.

The Role

We’re looking for someone who wants to learn, grow, and cook properly — from scratch, with whole ingredients, in a kitchen deeply connected to the farm.

You’ll be involved in:

Preparing dishes using seasonal farm-grown produce

Learning traditional techniques: stocks, ferments, preserves, butchery

Helping develop menus based on what’s growing right now

Working closely with the farm team to understand ingredients at their source

Keeping the kitchen clean, organised, and running smoothly

Working independently when needed, and confidently as part of a small, supportive team

Experience is welcome, but passion matters more.You’re someone who:

Loves cooking with fresh, seasonal ingredients

Enjoys learning new skills and working with whole foods

Is comfortable working alone and taking initiative

Works well with others and contributes positively to the team

Takes pride in a clean, well-kept kitchen

Appreciates the rhythm of farm life and seasonal cooking

Hands-on training in farm-to-table cooking

A chance to work with exceptional ingredients

A role where your creativity and curiosity are valued

A supportive environment focused on real craft

The satisfaction of cooking food that reflects the land it comes from
