Chefs Required Sous to CDP, Birch (handle.silk.comet)

About Us

Birch creates spaces where you can rest, explore, connect, work, taste, move or dance as you wish – all in one place.

Each space is designed to act as an escape from urban living, a chance to release and reset, free from the judgements, expectations and constraints of daily life. Employing art, food, health (mind & body), craft, music and nature as our brand pillars, think Summertime pool parties at the Lido, making bread in our immersive bakery, ceramics workshops in our in-house potters room or a boutique spin class in our Wellness Centre.

Initially it is a series of lifestyle retreats, based a stone’s throw from a city, enabling city residents the opportunity to escape and play but not needing to jump in the car for hours, our first property set in 55 Acres with 140 bedrooms is based just 30 mins form Liverpool Street.
