Junior Sous Chef - Stow-on-the-Wold

About us: The Bell Inn sits proudly on the periphery of Stow-on-the-Wold, one of the gems in the Cotswolds. Steeped in history, the town is the perfect location from which to explore both the stunning countryside and charming towns around every corner. The Inn is approximately 350 years old; we aim to provide the very best in offering great food and premium service at the Inn but take great care not to dilute any of its ancient characters. With fourteen beautifully decorated en suite bedrooms, we consider ourselves one of the leading Inns in the Cotswolds. The Inn boasts a rare front garden/terrace which is the perfect place to relax in summer with a glass of rosé or you can sit by our log burner and warm up in the winter with a pint of Young's ale. We believe we are the perfect place for those looking for a role within the hospitality industry. I pride myself on giving my staff the best possible work-life balance and we play hard, work hard. There is tremendous loyalty within the team reflecting, I believe, a healthy and fun environment in which to work. We are always keen to look at new team members so do drop us a line if you are interested and see for yourself what it is like to offer great guests the service, food and experience they deserve.
