Senior Sous Chef

Ready to lead the team. Salary: £34,000.00 base + £11,500–£12,100 in Tronc (on average). Prime by Pasture, nestled in the heart of Redcliffe, is all about big flavours, top-quality ingredients, and a no-compromise approach to sustainability. We’re redefining burgers—everything is made in-house, from scratch, the way it should be. Mornings kick off with rich, expertly brewed coffee, stacked breakfasts, and fresh smoothies. By afternoon, it’s all about burgers, whether you like them big and juicy or double smashed. Alongside the burgers are our signature sticky wings and indulgent, thick shakes. As evening rolls in, the vibes turn up, the bar gets lively, and the menu is built for hands-on eating (napkins recommended). We’re here for early risers, brunch lovers, lunch rushers, and anyone craving a seriously good feed. Eat in, take away, or catch up with friends—no judgment, just incredible food made fresh with no shortcuts. And if that’s not enough, you can bring Prime and Pasture home with our selection of top-quality meats from our in-house butchers or pick up some fresh produce from our own farm! Get in, get fed, and get messy.
