Ormskirk restaurant with two Michelin stars now looking to hire a new chef

An industry-leading restaurant with two Michelin stars has opened a vacancy in its kitchen... and it has a very appetising pay packet.

Two Michelin starred Moor Hall, in Aughton, Ormskirk, is seeking a new chef de partie to join its award winning team led by chef-patron Mark Birchall. The role will see the successful applicant taking charge of their own section of the kitchen for a respectable £35,000 per year.

The role also offers generous bonuses, including a "tronc", a common fund for tips which are then paid to staff, of up to £7,000 per year, meaning the successful applicant could take home over £40,000 every year before tax. These high wages came as a surprise to many when the job advert was posted by head-chef Mark Birchall, LancsLive reported.
