We have an immediate need for an Interim Food Beverage Director to work in a task-force role with our pre-opening team for 3 to 4 months on delivering pre-opening activities for the activation of our Taymouth Castle facilities and assist with general operations.
Culinary experiences are an essential element of our member experiences.
- Currently we offer a range of dining options such as our outdoor Kitchen at The Grouse House with its spectacular views across the golf course to the castle where we slow roast brisket and bubble smokey bbq beans over the firepit and serve pizza straight from the woodfired oven.
- Our Wild Kitchen experience is located on the riverbank of the Tay and enables us to showcase local quality ingredients for our members to cook themselves over charcoals at their table. Pairing the experience with some fantastic cocktails and wines encapsulates everything that is unique about our club.
- The Lairdβs Hall offers a truly Scottish experience from start to finish with baronial style feasting and will offer produce from the Glenlyon Estate itself such as game, eggs, fruits and berries the estate services up.
The choice of food outlets will increase again with the opening of the castle, offering a Tavern, fine dining hall, champagne and caviar room, whisky bar, private dining area and Chinese drawing room. Each with their own distinct characteristics and exceptional service.
Whilst we are waiting for our permanent FB Director to be with us on-site, we require:
Preparations to continue for the opening of our new FB outlets:
- Operating standards for each of the various concepts.
- Manning guides for the initial operational areas.
- Equipment lists for purchasing.
