Who are we?
We are a family run business that is obsessed with creating the tastiest food in town and we work with amazing local producers that share our vision and ethos to achieve this. Set up in 2015 by the four Crouch bros, CSONS was founded upon a massive passion for incredible, globally inspired food and a huge respect for the quality and abundance of tip top local ingredients right on our doorstep. Couple this with the drive and work ethic to consistently deliver this vision through providing exceptional service and you’ll and it’s no wonder we now have 3 of the most popular and respected restaurants in Shropshire. Our ethos is infectious amongst our workforce so if this appeals then we could be the right place for you!
The Role & you
We're looking for the right person, so will consider taking on a CDP or junior sous level chef and we'll also consider part time applicants. You'll be renumerated accordingly depending on your experience and skill level.
If you're reading this then you should already have some professional kitchen experience and understand what's expected in this mid-level role. You should also be hungry for success, growth and developing yourself into the best chef you can be. Our busy, top rated restaurants showcase a huge diversity of styles and techniques and the team is pretty awesome too. Here's a few reasons why we think you should join us and also why a move to CSONS will put a smile on your face;
- We believe in work life balance and as such only open for supper on Friday and Saturday nights, plus the odd event on Thursdays. The rest of the week it's just breakfast and lunch, so minimal evenings and very rare splits.
- We've got 3 top rated restaurants and a wedding venue now which means we have resources to support with all the back of office stuff so you can focus on delivering excellence in the kitchen.
- You'll get to work with some of the finest local produce creating and serving honest, unpretentious dishes that shout about the ingredients and are all about the excitement of global flavours. It's soul food, food that people want to eat and get pleasure from eating.
- We have fun while we work. You already know that working in this industry is hard, so why make it harder by not making it enjoyable. There's no bad attitudes or dictators here, just a positive team that wants to shizzle their customers and have a laugh when they can.
- Apparently we're a great business to work for. We recently sent out anonymous questionnaires to ask what everyone thought. One of the questions we asked was; Why do you keep on working for CSONS? Answers included "It's like a family", "It's my favourite job I've ever had", "The support I receive", "The teamwork", "Every day is different", "It's an ethically run business", It's commitment to responsibly produced food", "Outstanding coffee and staff food", "Approachable and open minded management".
- We've put together a pretty decent list of perks;
- Tips fully shared across the whole team through tronc system based on hours worked – can be up to £1.90 extra per hour! As a full timer you can expect around £4k on top of your normal salary.
- Profit share – After your first six months with us you will be eligible for our profit share bonus scheme. Every year you stay with us you’ll take a bigger share, so you can grow with us! *Peaks at five years. Long serving full timers have received around £1500.
- 29 days Holiday – Coz we give you an extra one on your Birthday! *(includes bank holidays, pro rata based on hours worked)
- A meal for 2 with a bottle of bubbles on us to celebrate your Birthday. *At one of our restaurants obviously!
- 30% off your total bill once a month * Valid as long as you’re part of the group (up to six people).
- 10% discount as many times as you want it!

- Work towards qualifications – If you want to formalise your career and gain qualifications whilst you work with us that’s no problem, we work with colleges and external training providers to provide a solution tailored to you.
