Vacature Zelfstandig werkend kok
For our brand-new restaurant The Blonde in Overveen, we’re looking for a chef with genuine passion for the craft.
Someone who cooks with care, has a sharp eye for flavour and presentation, and moves smoothly between mise en place and peak service hours.
Soon to open in our award-winning boutique hotel Blendin Bloemendaal: The Blonde – a restaurant perched atop the dunes, with a panoramic view of the sea.
We serve food that reflects where you are: honest Dutch cuisine with international influences, no frills, high quality.
A place where locals and travellers come together, get surprised, and discover new flavours.
In our compact kitchen, you’re responsible for preparing dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You work with fresh, daily produce, keep oversight during prep, and contribute to beautiful plates with every detail in place. Together with the kitchen team, you help develop new dishes and contribute ideas for seasonal menu updates.
You monitor quality, work precisely according to HACCP guidelines, and keep your station clean and well-organized. At the same time, you know when to pick up the pace and how to collaborate with the front-of-house team to ensure smooth service – even when things get busy.
You’ll work under the guidance of our head chef and F&B Manager, an experienced Michelin-starred chef, who will support your growth and give you room to develop further.
You have completed a culinary education (SVH level 2 or 3, or equivalent), possess a refined palate, and have a strong sense of responsibility. You work in a structured way, stay calm under pressure, and keep your cool during busy shifts. You’re naturally flexible and enjoy working different shifts, including evenings and weekends.
You have HACCP experience or are willing to get certified quickly. And maybe most importantly: you enjoy cooking and find satisfaction in happy guests and good teamwork.
We offer employment under the Dutch hospitality industry (KHN) collective labour agreement, with a full-time workweek of 38 hours and 25 vacation days per year.
You’ll be working in a place where attention, quality, and collaboration come first – and that applies to how we treat each other too. You’ll park for free right outside, be part of a supportive team, and enjoy fun company outings and special moments outside the kitchen.
Come work in a professional kitchen with an intimate feel, alongside a dedicated team that values teamwork. A workplace where sustainability is more than a label – it’s part of our everyday way of thinking and doing.
You’ll be guided by a Michelin-starred chef, have space for your own ideas, and play an active role in an ambitious restaurant where quality and personal attention go hand in hand.
Excited to help shape a new culinary chapter on top of the dunes? We’d love to meet you.
