Buckingham Palace is looking to hire a chef and it comes with some great perks

Are you a dab hand in the kitchen? Looking for your big career break? There's a rather special job going and it could be yours.

But you need to be able to create a meal fit for a Queen .

The Royal Family is on the look out for a 'Demi Chef de Partie' based at the very famous, and very grand Buckingham Palace right in the hearts of the capital.

The permanent, five-day-per-week job comes with a salary of £22,076 and you don't have to worry about the price of renting as accommodation is included.

Meals are also part of the role so think of the money you'll be saving. Although that does come with a salary adjustment.

The job description reads: "It's using your expertise to deliver the highest standards

"It's being encouraged to develop your skills. And it's contributing to a team who deliver extraordinary service. This is what makes a career with the Royal Household exceptional.

"Joining an accomplished team of professionals, you’ll work hands-on to deliver food to the highest standards.

"You'll prepare diverse menus for a wide range of events, developing new skills that will help you to take the next step in your career.   

"Working with quality ingredients and alongside skilled colleagues, your role will be diverse, rotating through all sections of the kitchen.

Is your cooking fit for the Queen? (Simon Dawson/PA Wire)

"And in an environment where development and training is commonplace, you'll be supported to grow within your role."

The successful recruit may have experience in a premier kitchen or in a high-scale catering environment but mostly, they say they are looking for "ability and enthusiasm".

And it probably goes without saying that you need to have a passion for food and the catering industry.
