Vine Recruitment is recruiting a Chef de Partie for a wine farm in the Franschhoek area of the Western Cape. The permanent role is for a trained, hands-on kitchen professional who can hold a section of the kitchen to a high standard, with excellent culinary skills and impeccable health and hygiene standards. Applications close on 30 November 2026.
About the company and the work
The role is advertised by Vine Recruitment, a recruitment firm established in 2008, on behalf of a wine farm in the Franschhoek area. Franschhoek is one of the Western Cape’s best-known food and wine destinations, and a wine farm kitchen there works at a pace and standard that guests notice on every plate. A Chef de Partie is the cook in charge of a particular section of the kitchen, so consistency, timing and calm under pressure matter as much as cooking skill. This is a permanent position, and the advert states that the successful candidate will be an excellent candidate for the role, with formal training and practical kitchen experience behind them.
Role details and duties
The advert itself is brief and does not list duties in detail, so the points below describe the role as advertised rather than inventing a duty list:
- Take up the position of Chef de Partie at a wine farm in the Franschhoek area.
- Work as part of the kitchen team to a high culinary standard.
- Maintain impeccable health and hygiene standards in all kitchen work.
- Bring strong practical kitchen ability gained over 2 to 3 years of experience.
Applicants should confirm the full scope of the role, including the kitchen section, shift pattern and service expectations, in the original advert or with the recruiter before applying, since the source advert does not spell these out.
