At Scott Dunn we are renowned for our excellent chefs and high attention to detail. Our chefs are an extremely important part of the service that Scott Dunn offer and this is a great opportunity to create fantastic tailor-made menus in your own kitchen in a stunning location.
Our positions being either in the exclusive Mediterranean locations of Mallorca and the South of France or the beautiful alpine resorts in France and Austria during their respective seasons. These locations pose exciting options for our chefs’ creativity in terms of local ingredients, seasonal cuisine and when not in the kitchen simply enjoying everything the local resort has to offer –whether it is dining at the local restaurants, visiting the local markets, enjoying snow sports or exploring the local islands. It really makes for an exciting experience all round.
