Prep Cook

Join a Chef-Led, Wine-Focused Kitchen with Daytime Hours

At Turks Head Wines, we’re more than a winery — we’re a chef-driven culinary destination. Our kitchen, led by Executive Chef Nan, creates fresh, seasonal dishes designed to pair with our handcrafted California wines. We're currently seeking a dependable and detail-oriented Prep Cook to join our team and help bring that vision to life.

This is a perfect opportunity for someone who loves working in a kitchen but prefers a steady daytime schedule, values quality, and wants to be part of something truly different in the West Chester dining scene.

About Our Executive Chef:
Our culinary program at Turks Head Wines is rooted in the wines we craft — thoughtful, expressive, and designed to be shared. Executive Chef Nan brings that same philosophy to the kitchen, creating seasonal, ingredient-driven dishes that complement and elevate our wines.

Our kitchen is led by Executive Chef Nan, whose career spans some of the country’s top culinary destinations. He’s trained at The Little Nell in Aspen (a Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five-Diamond property), cooked under Louis Tikaram at E.P. & L.P. in LA, and worked at Bosq in Aspen, known for its hyper-local, foraged cuisine. Nan has also served as Chef de Cuisine at The Monarch steakhouse and contributed to the celebrated tasting menus at Corvino Supper Club & Tasting Room in Kansas City.

Now at Turks Head Wines, Chef Nan is building a talented, collaborative kitchen team rooted in seasonality, creativity, and respect for the craft. This is a rare opportunity to work under a chef who values mentorship, fosters growth, and brings fine-dining standards to a dynamic, growing restaurant.

Working under Chef Nan means being part of a program where food and wine are thoughtfully connected, and where your contribution matters. If you’re excited about hospitality, seasonality, and the magic of food + wine pairings, we want to meet you.

If you're looking to learn, grow, and be part of something exciting — this is your kitchen.
