Sr Sous Chef – Big Progression Bristol, England
Job description
The Forge & Fern is one of the most exciting new opens to hit the Bristol food & drink scene this year, now trading & exceeding all projections we are looking for the best chefs in Bristol to join this one-of-a-kind project.
Fiercely independent, we are backed by the established and diverse Bristol based Vertex Investment Group.
The Forge & Fern will be the first of multiple sites (already purchased) to follow in the next 12 months, creating genuine scope to progress at all levels.
The Café bar itself is a design led inspirational space, exterior living walls on the façade, marble tabletops, bespoke back bar feature mirrors and beautiful hanging pendant lighting - the interiors are simply stunning.
We have a high quality, yet accessible, all-day dining offering available. Think the best barista morning coffee with local cakes & pastries, beautifully displayed on the bar, brunch served through to mid-afternoon & then to start the evening a vibrant wine list and artisan spirits, the best of local craft beer alongside small plates & pub classics to bring the day to a close.
The business also offers unique points of difference, to allow us to stand out from the crowd.
The rooftop of the pub will be a hive of activity in more ways than one; with 10,000 bees housed above allowing us to produce our own honey whilst at the opposite end of the pub in the cellar, we will be distilling our own Forge & Fern gin! There will be a show piece gin still in the basement, which will be visible through a bespoke glass walkway, front and centre in the restaurant providing a real wow factor for all guests and visitors.
We are a young & entrepreneurial company & we are looking for likeminded hospitality professionals to join us at the start of this truly exiting journey.
The Role
We are looking for a talented and passionate Senior Sous Chef to join the team in the running of The Forge & Fern. You will report into the Head Chef, responsible for maintaining all food offering, health & safety and food hygiene standards across the business.
The menu will run all day. From 8am we will start with our wonderful breakfast & brunch offering right through to interesting & fun small plates and pub classics in the evenings.
This will be a varied and fast paced role and you will be joining a truly great team of people focused individuals.
With further sites already purchased, this is a great step towards a first head chef position whilst receiving daily support and training along the way.
