Dear HR,

Further to your advertisement in the Chester News I would like to apply for the position of commis chef in your country house hotel. I am an experienced commis chef, but I am currently working in a smaller establishment and I now wish to further my career.

You will see from my enclosed CV the details of my training, qualifications and experience. I love using fresh local ingredients whenever possible, and I understand that your head chef specifically changes the menu to take advantage of seasonal produce. Your hotel has a very good reputation for high standards and I feel that I am ready to take up this challenging position.

I understand that this is a live-in position which, owing to the rural location of your hotel will be ideal for me. I enjoy creating new dishes in my free time and am delighted when they are perfected so they can be added to the menu.

I do hope that you will consider my application. I would be pleased to attend an interview at a date convenient for you and I hope to hear from you in due course.

Yours faithfully

Your Name

Commis Chef Cover Letter Example

Dear Mr. Davies,

I am interested in your recent advertisement in the Leeds Gazette for the position of Commis Chef at Barney’s Restaurant.

I recently completed my Level 3 in Food Hygiene and hold a Fist Aid certification. I would very much like to advance in my career and believe that I am ready for this position of Commis Chef that you are offering.

The job requirements appear to be more challenging and varied than those I have grown used to at my current job at Nando’s. I would like to expand my knowledge, learn new responsibilities and be able to further my career within the field.

For the last two years I have been working as Kitchen Assistant where my responsibilities were:

– Clearing the kitchen stations of all unnecessary utensils and food.
– Clearing/cleaning cooking vessels and utensils from all the work surfaces and sinks.
– Chopping, peeling various vegetables for prep
– Daily verification of our dairy products expiration dates and disposing of any out of date products.
– General assistance in food presentation for selected events.

I believe that I would excel at menu suggestions and planning, cooking meals, guiding the serving staff as to what the daily/weekly specials were all while being able to continue to learn from the chefs during their daily tasks.

I hope to hear from you soon and look forward to the opportunity to discuss my suitability further.

Yours sincerely,
