As our new Head Chef, you’ll lead our kitchen team in the creation of fabulous, fresh dishes – using your culinary magic to give customers a special pub-dining experience.
You’ll be working with seasonal, local and regional ingredients, in a well-equipped kitchen – within a company that really understands the importance of getting food right.
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. We encourage our chefs to implement new cooking techniques whilst providing our customers with a traditional foundation of great pub classics.
That means you’ll need a commercial head, as well as exceptional cooking skills. You’ll also be a great communicator, calm under pressure, and you’ll be driven by a shared vision of success and a company that will give you the tools to do so.
But most importantly, you’ll show real passion for fresh food. At Fuller’s, we’re determined to do pub food differently – this is your chance to be part of something unique.
