The Queen Is Looking To Hire A New Chef, And They’ll Have The Option To Live In Buckingham Palace
For those of you who have always dreamed of living amongst the royal family, now's the time to shoot your shot. Rumor has it that Buckingham Palace is hiring a Demi Chef de Partie AKA a station cook. But...this is actually not a rumor. There's literally an application page for the job, and if you have bomb cooking skills, we highly encourage you apply.
Not only is the annual salary £22,076.04 (approximately $27,480), but the job also includes a 15 percent pension plus 33 days of holiday (you know, vacation). And while you won't necessarily serve as the royal family's personal chef (the job focuses on "[preparing] diverse menus for a wide range of events" and "rotating through all sections of the kitchen"), you will have the opportunity to travel "to other Royal residences."
Most importantly, you'll be offered room and board in Buckingham Palace. You heard me. We're pretty sure that Buckingham Palace and free food equates to living your best life. Yes, your salary will be adjusted if you choose to live in-residence, but obviously it'll be worth it.
That said, this job is not for just anyone. Obviously if you're going to potentially be feeding Queen Elizabeth and our American Queen Meghan Markle, you'll need to come correct. As the job listing notes, "standards are exceptionally high," and "previous experience within a premier kitchen or volume catering environment" is preferred.
So if you're ready to head across the pond and take your cooking skills to the next level (plus possibly meet baby Archie!!!), get going on your application. They're only accepting applications through July 28. Good luck!
