She has worked every aspect of the Inn and the last few years has been Head Chef. She has turned the kitchenaround and now Stein In is recognised as a destination place and a foodie destination. The last years have seen many accolades as seen below.

The kitchen size is small but adequate and has the all of the mod cons needed to run a kitchen and focuses on shellfish from Lochbay opposite some of the best in the world of ingredients and from directly opposite. Wild venison etc. There are fewplaces that have this. Local produce servedsimply - less is more. There is a Michelin star restaurant next door! Charlie, now wants to take a lesser role in the kitchen and step back as she has run the Inn for over 5 years - she will be involved and will always be there as a support unit,and wants to hand over the reins to a Chef as well as Sous chef and this is a fantastic opportunity for the ideal candidate tobe able to implement your own ideas as you lead the food side of the business. It is an opportunity to have your name above the door and carve your name for yourself. It is an opportunity to run the kitchen and be creative. You will be in charge of the kitchen team.
