About us:
Food and drink is at our heart and soul, and we are proud to have been recognised with multiple awards and some great reviews. We are especially passionate about seafood; with a family history in fishing that dates back to the 18th century we make the most of the finest catch of the day with our seafood specials. We also love the friendly informality of the Great British Pub, so the classics and great local produce has its place firmly on the menu.
We have been recognised with multiple awards including Restaurant Magazine’s Food Led Company and the Publican Award’s Best Food Offer multiple times.
Recognised as a leading employer, we k now that the key to success is the people within the business, and that the first step is recruiting the best people who are just as passionate as us about food, drink, and true hospitality.
As part of a group of six premium pubs with rooms, we’re big enough to offer progression and multisite opportunities, but small enough to know all of our teams personally and as individuals, which allows people to develop and excel in their areas of interest.
About you:
- You are passionate about food, have impeccable standards, and a great team spirit.
- You will know your way around a kitchen, having worked as a Sous Chef previously and be ready for your next challenge!
- You have excellent attention to detail.
- You have great communication skills.
- You are ready to support the Head Chef with the running of the Kitchen.
- You are ready to assist the Head Chef with leading and developing the team.
- You are ready to assist the Head Chef with the creation of the specials menu.
