We're recruiting for an experienced Sous Chef on behalf of a busy, much-loved country pub just outside Brighton, set against the South Downs and known for its multi-award-winning Sunday roasts and entirely fresh food menu. This is a brilliant opportunity to join a growing, ambitious business at exactly the right time.
The pub was taken over just over a year ago, given a stunning refurb, and picked up an industry award for Best Roast Dinner within months of reopening. The business has gone from strength to strength since opening, creating a bustling atmosphere which has been a huge hit with locals and people travelling in. With expansion plans on the horizon, this role offers excellent progression opportunities within the business, in particular for someone ready to step into a Head Chef position and take charge of your own kitchen.
Working closely with the Head Chef, you'll help lead a lively kitchen serving locally sourced produce centered around pub classics done to a very high standard to elevated specials and their celebrated Sunday roast.
- Running service and supporting the wider team across a busy bar, restaurant, and function room.
- Taking full charge of the kitchen on the Head Chef's days off — ordering, prepping, managing the team, and holding standards very high.
- Training and mentoring junior chefs as the team grows.
- Helping look after food safety, stock control, and day-to-day kitchen organisation.
- An experienced Sous Chef with a genuine passion for fresh, seasonal food.
- Someone confident running a kitchen solo, not just a section.
- Ambitious, with a real desire to progress into a Head Chef role as the business grows.
