Sous Chef

As our Sous Chef you will ensure quality food preparation and presentation for all dishes served in Da Costa and Roth Bar, providing an authentic and generous experience every time. Play a vital role in ensuring that all sections of your kitchen are operating to the highest of standards under the guidance of our Head Chef. Leading the team by example you will help develop and retain your chefs.

Da Costa has been named for and inspired by Artfarm co‑founder Iwan Wirth's maternal grandfather, who originated from the small mountainous village of Rivamonte Agordino in the Veneto region of Northern Italy. He emigrated to Switzerland in the early 20th century and opened a restaurant much loved for its honest fare. A century later, and some 800 miles from that first restaurant, Da Costa continues this glorious culinary adventure.

The menu is an exploration of traditional northern Italian recipes featuring an array of antipasti, homemade pastas and risottos and daily specials cooked over fire. Using freshly grown seasonal ingredients from the walled garden and surrounding area, our dishes blend the best of both worlds – quintessential Englishness with Italian culinary flair. Artfarm is a one‑of‑a‑kind independent hospitality company founded by Iwan and Manuela Wirth, renowned for developing and reinventing distinctive sites including the award‑winning Fife Arms Hotel in Braemar, Manuela restaurant in Los Angeles, and Roth Bar, Da Costa and Farm Shop in Somerset.

Artfarm uniquely brings together art, community, education, people and place.
