We are now seeking a passionate and experienced Executive Chef who wants to take our kitchen to the next level and make Fågelbro Säteri a gastronomic destination to be reckoned with!

Fågelbro Säteri is embarking on a continued exciting development journey. We are already working to shape our future concept and identity, with the ambition to create some of Sweden's best customer experiences at intimate destinations where food, beverage, hotel, spa, meetings, and experiences are in focus. For the kitchen, this means a central role in the continued development.
