Keeper of The Catch – Culinary Lead

The Opportunity:

CODE is developing a new premium food and drink experience within our Edinburgh hospitality portfolio, which currently includes The Court, The Lost Close, and The Pend.
We’re looking for a talented, commercially minded culinary lead to help shape and launch a new seafood-led guest experience in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. This is a hands-on role for someone who understands exceptional Scottish produce, can build strong supplier relationships, and knows how to deliver quality, consistency and pace in a premium but accessible format.

This is not a traditional restaurant role. It is a chance to influence a new concept from the ground up, from sourcing and menu development through to stock control, service flow, team training and guest experience.

We need someone who can make the food side work beautifully, commercially and consistently.

What You’ll Do:

Shape the food offer
Develop and maintain a short, seasonal, seafood-led menu that is simple, brilliant and led by the quality of the produce.

Build supplier relationships
Source well, negotiate confidently, and build trusted relationships with fishmongers, shellfish suppliers, smokehouses and Scottish producers.

Own the standards
Oversee food safety, storage, preparation, presentation and consistency across the operation.

Support the guest experience
Work with the wider CODE team to create a food and drink offer that feels distinctive, premium and rooted in Scottish provenance.

Curate complementary drinks
Help shape a concise drinks list that pairs intelligently with the food offer and sits comfortably within the wider CODE portfolio.

Lead a small team
Recruit, train and manage a compact kitchen and service team, setting clear standards without unnecessary fuss.

Manage the numbers
Take responsibility for food cost, GP, waste, stock control and supplier spend. This is a premium product, so the margins need to work.

Who You Are

You have genuine experience sourcing and working with high-quality Scottish seafood.
You understand when the product should be the star and when to get out of its way.
You’ve run, led or helped develop a kitchen, food counter, seafood offer, pop-up, events food operation or premium casual concept.
You understand speed, consistency and quality in equal measure.
You are comfortable with supplier negotiation, stock control and food safety compliance.
You can think commercially without compromising the product.
You care about provenance, sustainability and Scottish food culture.
You are hands-on, ego-free and excited by the idea of helping build something new.

The initial phase will involve supplier conversations, menu development, operational planning and preparation ahead of launch.

How to Apply
Send your CV and a short note, no more than one page, telling us:

What kind of Scottish seafood-led menu you’d build for a premium casual guest experience
Which suppliers, producers or products you rate highly
Why this kind of launch appeals to you
We’re more interested in your taste, judgement and supplier knowledge than a long list of previous employers.
