Tucked on the edge of Burgh Island, The Pilchard Inn is a characterful and historic pub with unbeatable views and a reputation for serving great food in a truly unique setting. We’re looking for a committed Chef de Partie to join our small but mighty kitchen team delivering high-quality, high-volume seasonal food that delights locals and visitors alike.

About the Role:

This is a hands-on position in a compact, fast-paced kitchen that punches above its weight. You’ll be responsible for running your section confidently, preparing fresh dishes for both our relaxed lunch service and a more elevated evening menu. You’ll thrive on the energy of a busy service, take pride in great execution, and bring consistency to every plate.

Key Responsibilities:

• Manage your section efficiently during prep and service
• Cook dishes to spec using fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced produce
• Support a changing menu with a mix of classic pub favourites and refined evening options
• Keep your station clean, organised, and compliant with food safety standards
• Work as part of a tight, supportive team in a high-pressure environment
• Help maintain stock control, labelling, and kitchen systems

What We’re Looking For:

• Previous experience as a CDP or strong Demi CDP in a fast-paced kitchen
• Comfortable with both high-volume and quality cooking
• A proactive, can-do attitude and willingness to adapt
• Strong work ethic, timekeeping, and team spirit
• Passion for honest, well-executed food

Hours & Flexibility:

• 40-hour contract over 5 days per week – flexibility is essential, especially during peak seasons
• Weekend and evening availability is expected

Accommodation:

• Live-in accommodation available in subsidised staff housing (subject to availability)

Important to Know:

• Due to our remote location, live-out applicants must have a car and valid UK driving licence
• Applicants must have the right to work in the UK – we are unable to provide visa sponsorship

Why Work with Us?

• Cook in one of the UK’s most iconic island settings
• Be part of a small, passionate team that supports each other
• Competitive salary, monthly gratuities, and excellent food while on shift
• Staff discounts and wellbeing support
• A genuinely rare opportunity to live and work somewhere extraordinary

Step into the kitchen at The Pilchard Inn and be part of something truly special.
