🏄 Kitchen Chef – Surf Lodge, Praia de Ofir, Portugal

🍽 Opportunity ElementFish Surfcamp on Portugal's Praia de Ofir, a quiet stretch of coast north of Porto, is hiring a Kitchen Chef to run meals for up to 20 guests and a 10-person staff, six nights a week, built around a weekly BBQ and a stone-oven pizza night. It's a small, hands-on kitchen — one chef, real menus built from fresh and local ingredients, not a resort buffet line. 👨‍🍳 Role - Plan and prepare meals nightly for up to 20 guests plus a 10-person staff team - Build weekly menus around fresh, local, whole-food ingredients with vegetarian and vegan options - Run the signature weekly BBQ and stone-oven pizza nights - Handle grocery ordering and coordinate kitchen helper scheduling - Manage the kitchen independently as the lead (and effectively sole) chef 🌎 ChefJobs Abroad Analysis Praia de Ofir sits north of Porto on a beach break that draws its own quiet surf crowd, away from the more crowded camps further south near Peniche or Ericeira. Running a kitchen for 20 guests and 10 staff is small enough to stay hands-on and personal — you'll know exactly who's eating what — while the surf lessons and equipment access thrown in mean the job comes with the same lifestyle it's selling to guests. This suits a chef who wants a genuinely quiet corner of the Portuguese coast over the more built-up surf towns, and who's fine with compensation that isn't pinned to a fixed number up front. ✅ Best Fit - Chefs who want a small, single-cook kitchen rather than a large brigade - Cooks comfortable with fresh, local, whole-food menus over resort-style buffet service - Anyone who wants surf lessons and beach access built into a seasonal contract - Candidates who are organised with ordering, budgeting and scheduling as well as cooking - Chefs looking for a quieter stretch of the Portuguese coast, away from the busier surf towns further south - Not a fit for anyone who needs a disclosed salary figure up front — pay here is described only as based on skills and contribution
