We're a fair and honest employer offering a contract based on a 45h working week, plus the benefits listed below.
What can we offer you?
- 25% staff discount off food and drink, across all our pubs and hotels for you and your friends and family. This increases the longer you work for us, up to 40%
- A fair share of tips/service charge on top of your pay

Being Head Chef is a real challenge, so you can count on the full support of a team of Executive Chefs and our other teams at the Support Centre to help you to develop your business.
Looking after the kitchen however is your domain. You’ll lead your team expertly through service, and you’ll take full control of the food side of the business.
