The Kitchen at Skibo

• The chefs at Skibo are passionate about food. Executive Chef Craig Rowland, a Fellow of the prestigious Royal Academy of Culinary Arts, oversees our brigade of talented professionals who create mouth-watering classic and innovative dishes.
• From our Kitchen Assistants who support the team with vegetable prep, mis-en-place and gathering produce from the garden to the Senior Sous Chefs, who oversee the daily running of the department and ensure that each dish presented to our guests is impeccable, each member of our brigade plays an integral role in the creation of the delicious dishes that make a stay at Skibo so special for our members.
• With seasonal menus focussed on home-grown and locally sourced ingredients, our members enjoy a mix of old favourites and innovative new dishes each time they visit. As a team, we pride ourselves on always striving to exceed expectations and continually improve and finesse our menus.

• We offer a variety of culinary styles across the Club from Brasserie-style dishes at lunch to fine dining in the evenings and have a holistic approach to the food we serve - we bake our own bread, cure our own salmon, and even tap the estate's birch trees for syrup.
• There are fantastic opportunities for training and development for our chefs, including placements at internationally renowned establishments both here in the UK and abroad.
• At The Carnegie Club, we recognise that happy staff equal happy guests. In the Kitchen, chefs work 40 hours per week and there are no split shifts so you can enjoy a healthy work/life balance. As part of the Skibo family you’ll also enjoy our comprehensive package of benefits, including 33 days of annual leave.

In the castle, chefs work in a spacious and airy space which is flooded with natural light throughout the day thanks to its cathedral-style windows, while the award-winning kitchen at the Clubhouse is open-plan and boasts views out over the championship Carnegie Links golf course and Sutherland hills beyond.
