Join a Fresh, Independent Kitchen with Real Progression
We are a recently refurbished, independent pub/restaurant with 10 rooms and a strong local following. Our focus is simple: fresh, quality food, warm hospitality, and a genuinely supportive team culture.
With a close-knit brigade and a hands-on leadership team, this is a fantastic opportunity for a Chef de Partie who wants to develop, contribute ideas, and be part of something they can feel proud of.
The Opportunity:
As Chef de Partie, you’ll play a key role in delivering consistently high standards across a busy fresh food kitchen serving around 100 covers per day (more at weekends).
You’ll:
- Prepare and present high-quality dishes using fresh, seasonal ingredients
- Work closely with the Head Chef, Sous Chef, and Senior CDP to ensure smooth, efficient service
- Contribute creatively to daily specials and menu development
- Maintain excellent food safety, hygiene, and organisation standards
- Thrive in a fast-paced service while remaining calm and focused
Our trading hours are 9am–9pm, with the kitchen fully closed and cleaned down by 10pm — meaning no late-night finishes.
About You:
- Around 2 years’ experience in a fresh food kitchen
- Background in independent pubs, restaurants, or hotels preferred
- Passion for quality ingredients and well-executed dishes
- Positive, reliable, and a strong team player
Formal qualifications aren’t essential — attitude, consistency, and fresh food experience are what matter most.
What You’ll Receive:
- £35,000 per annum
- Overtime paid in full
- Annual bonus of up to £1,000
- 28 days’ holiday (accrued)
- Staff meals on shift
- Consistent 40-hour contract
- Clear and genuine progression opportunities
We believe in promoting from within — our current Head Chef began their journey here as a KP.
