Wendy,
You have to decide if you would stay should the conditions change. If so, the management of the club should have a talk with the chef. I don't mean the manager but someone higher up in the food chain. Someone who usually doesn't deal with things like that. The Chef needs to be made aware that there will always be a pastry chef in the kitchen and he needs to learn manners because the club can not continue to loose pastry chef because of him. They should add that they are trying to convince you to stay, that you didn't complain about him (that would make things more difficult for you). Should you agree to stay, they want to see him change his attitude and that should he continue to be like that he'll be one step closer to the door.
Will it work? It does often. Is it worth the trouble? Only you know that. The question is though are you ready to move on or do you really enjoy working there, beside the kitchen staff problem. If you do then fight for your job.
Good Luck Wendy!
