Aubrey Allen Ltd has proudly been supplying ethically sourced, top-quality meat and artisan cheese to some of the UK’s most celebrated restaurants, hotels, and pubs since 1933. Our client list includes iconic names like Raymond Blanc and Alain Roux.
We're more than just a business—we're a family. Built on values of respect, teamwork, and support, we believe in growing together and celebrating our successes. Now, we're looking for a Night Shift Larder Chef Butcher to join our friendly and dynamic team.
About the Role:
We’re looking for an experienced Larder Chef Butcher with strong multi-species skills to join our fast-paced production team. You’ll play a key role in the preparation and portioning of meats (beef, lamb, pork, poultry, and game) to customer specification, supporting smooth flow from butchery through to picking and dispatch.
You’ll be working in a busy, well-equipped larder environment where attention to detail, speed, and consistency are essential. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on butchery, working with quality products, and being part of a focused, supportive team.
Key Responsibilities:
- Break down, debone, trim, and portion beef, lamb, pork, poultry, and game.
- Prepare bespoke cuts, including steaks, joints, and specialist items.
- Maintain the highest hygiene standards and follow HACCP procedures.
- Ensure accurate weighing, packing, and labelling of all products.
- Collaborate with pickers and dispatch to ensure timely and correct order fulfilment.
- Operate equipment including vacuum packers, slicers, bandsaws, and wrapping machines.
- Maintain a clean, safe, and efficient workstation at all times.
What We Are Looking For:
- Proven experience in butchery across multiple species (3+ years preferred).
- Strong knife skills and excellent attention to detail.
- Able to work efficiently under pressure while maintaining quality.
- Good knowledge of food hygiene, safety, and allergen control.
- A proactive team player who communicates clearly and supports others.
- Reliable, organised, and disciplined in approach to work.
What We Offer:
- A dynamic working environment with a supportive team culture.
- Opportunity to work with high-quality meat and specialist products.
- Ongoing training and development.
- Uniform and PPE provided.
- Staff discounts / meals (if applicable)
Monthly Production Bonus Scheme
Following successful completion of a 3-month qualifying period, employees may be eligible for our monthly production bonus scheme, which typically averages around £300 per month.
This could mean earning an additional £3,600 per year on top of your basic salary.
Bonus payments are assessed against:
- Timekeeping

Potential Earnings Example
If your salary is:
- £35,800 per annum, your potential earnings could be approximately £39,400 per annum including an average monthly production bonus.

That's equivalent to approximately:

- £3,467 per month at £38,000 basic salary plus average bonus.
