Overview
We are seeking an experienced and adaptable private chef to travel with us from London and reside at our private home in Greece for the summer. This is a hands-on yet relaxed role, focused on healthy, high-quality food, excellent BBQ cooking, and thoughtful meal planning rather than constant formal service.
While the expectation is up to three meals per day, in reality we will often be out for lunch and/or dinner. Flexibility, good judgement, and the ability to plan intuitively around our schedule are essential.
The villa will host a minimum of four guests, with up to ten people at any one time.

- Coordinate meals seamlessly around outings, travel days, and visiting guests
Required Experience & Skills
