What a time to visit Rockliffe Hotel & Spa

Chris and Neil recently headed to the five star County Durham resort to meet Operations Manager Ross Tatham and see the results of the significant investment taking place across the property.

Rockliffe has been through a multimillion-pound transformation, including work to its historic Old Hall and a completely new culinary direction led by James and Maria Close.

The resort now brings together six different dining and bar concepts alongside its spa, championship golf course and 375-acre estate.

For Chris and Neil, seeing that change first-hand was incredibly useful.

When a hospitality business evolves, understanding where it is heading becomes just as important as understanding where it has come from.

That insight helps us support partnerships with a much clearer picture of the people and leadership they may need next.

Thank you Ross for taking the time to show the team around.

“Great progression.” We see it in hospitality roles all the time.

But what does progression actually mean to you as a chef?

- Learning another section?
- Taking on people management?
- Having more menu input?
- Moving from Chef de Partie to Junior Sous?
- Learning the commercial side of the kitchen?
- Working towards Head Chef?
- Developing pastry skills?
- Working at a higher standard?

Progression means different things to different people.

Chefs, what would make you feel like you were genuinely moving forward?

A trip into the Yorkshire Dales for Chris and a really valuable meeting at Yorebridge House .

Chris & Neil spent time with owner David Whitehead and General Manager Sophie Shotton, getting to know both the long term vision for the property and how that translates into the day to day guest experience.

Yorebridge House is a five star boutique hotel in Wensleydale with 12 individually designed bedrooms, a 3 AA Rosette restaurant and its new riverside wellness retreat.

Having both David and Sophie around the table made the visit particularly useful.

For us, understanding a partnership means knowing where the business wants to go as well as what matters to the people running it every day.

That gives any future search a much stronger starting point.

Thank you both for taking the time to welcome Chris & Neil.

Think about the best kitchen you have ever worked in.

What made it good enough to stay?
Was it the brigade?
The Head Chef?
The food?
The learning?
The working pattern?
The progression?
Or something completely different?

We want to hear from chefs.

What made your best kitchen worth staying in?

Not every chef knows exactly what their next permanent move should look like.

Sometimes you need time.

Relief work can give you the flexibility to keep earning, work in different kitchens and understand what suits you while you consider your permanent options separately.

That does not mean every relief role becomes permanent.

It simply gives you another route while you decide what matters next.

If you are a chef looking for flexible work, or you want relief shifts while you think about your next permanent move, talk to the Ginger Brigade.

Send us your chef level, your area and your availability.

A job title does not tell you enough about a chef role.

We think people should know what it pays, what the working pattern looks like, where they will be working, what they will actually be responsible for and what the opportunity could lead to.

So chefs, we want to ask you something.

What piece of information frustrates you most when it is missing from a job advert?

Salary?
Hours?
Days off?
Team size?
Accommodation?
Progression?

Chefs, what is the first thing you look for when a new role appears?

Salary?
Hours?
Days off?
Location?
Accommodation?
The style of kitchen?
Who you will be working with?
Where the role could take you next?

National hospitality research tells us salary visibility matters, but we want to hear from the people actually working in kitchens.

What makes you stop scrolling and properly read a chef role?

And what information makes you lose interest when it is missing?

Some career moves need a quieter conversation.

At senior level, changing roles can involve far more than finding the next job.

You may have an established team, strong relationships with your venue, a visible industry profile, a long notice period, or family and relocation considerations to think through. There is often a lot at stake in making the wrong move.

That is why Ginger Executive Search takes a discreet, personal approach to senior hospitality conversations.

Whether you are actively considering a move or simply open to hearing about the right opportunity, Chris can talk things through confidentially and help you explore what could be next without pressure.

For a private conversation, contact Chris directly.
