(Live-In, No Bills, Tips + Bonuses)

We’re a small but thriving drink-led pub with a loyal crowd, known for our atmosphere and great drinks. Now, we’re ready to grow our food offering — and we’re looking for a Head Chef who’s hungry to make their mark.

What We’re Offering:

Free live-in accommodation — no rent, no bills
Tips and bonus scheme
A chance to build the kitchen and menu with genuine input
Supportive, hands-on owners who want you to succeed
A busy, sociable working environment

What We’re Looking For:

A confident Head Chef or strong Sous Chef ready for the next step
Someone with creative ideas but also happy cooking solid, honest pub food
Strong leadership in a small kitchen team
Experience with fresh, simple menus — and able to handle busy service
A team player who understands this is a community pub, not a corporate kitchen

This is an exciting opportunity to grow with us from the start of our food journey. You’ll have freedom, responsibility, and the chance to be part of something genuine.

Interested?

Get in touch — we’d love to hear from chefs who want a fresh start and a new challenge.

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Position includes live-in accommodation above the pub.
