Chef / Cook

The Valley at Bishopston – Swansea

The Valley at Bishopston is a much-loved village pub at the heart of the local community. Known for its warm welcome, relaxed atmosphere and great food, The Valley is a place where locals, families and visitors come together to eat, drink and connect. We pride ourselves on serving honest, home-cooked food done properly – no fuss, just quality ingredients, well cooked, and generously served.

We are now looking for a Chef / Cook to join our kitchen team.

The Role

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys producing great, comforting food and takes particular pride in delivering an excellent Sunday lunch, which is a key part of what we do.

Preparing and cooking high-quality, home-cooked dishes
Delivering consistently strong Sunday roasts and classic pub favourites
Supporting menu development with ideas that suit the pub and its customers
Maintaining high standards of food hygiene, cleanliness and organisation

Teamwork & Culture

You’ll be working as part of a close-knit team where communication, reliability and mutual support are essential. This is a collaborative kitchen environment – helping each other during busy periods, sharing responsibility, and taking pride in the overall success of the pub rather than just individual tasks. A positive attitude and a willingness to muck in are just as important as technical skill.

About You

Experience as a chef or cook (professional kitchen experience preferred)
Confident cooking traditional, home-style food
Passionate about quality, consistency and presentation
Calm and organised under pressure
A team player with a positive, can-do attitude
