Award-Winning Pub Group – Contemporary Pubs

Salary: £38,000–£42,000 basic salary + generous tips package
Job Type: Full-time, Permanent
Location: Stowting, Kent

Join one of Kent's most celebrated gastropubs.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an ambitious and talented HeadChef to join the award-winning team at The Tiger Inn, one of Kent's leading food-led destination pubs and part of the highly respected Contemporary Pubs collection.

Working alongside our Executive Chef, you'll play a key role in delivering the exceptional food standards The Tiger Inn has become renowned for. This is the perfect opportunity for a passionate chef looking to develop their career within one of the county's most exciting and rapidly growing hospitality groups.

About Contemporary Pubs;

Contemporary Pubs is the hospitality group behind some of Kent's most acclaimed gastropubs, including The Tiger Inn, The King's Arms, The Marquis of Granby, and most recently The King's Head, Wye.

With an emphasis on exceptional seasonal food, warm hospitality, beautifully restored venues and outstanding guest experiences, Contemporary Pubs has established itself as one of the region's leading independent pub groups.

Our kitchens are led by chefs with experience in Rosette and Michelin-standard environments, producing menus that celebrate the very best local ingredients through refined, modern British cooking. We pride ourselves on promoting from within, investing in our teams, and providing genuine long-term career opportunities.

The Role

As Head Chef, you'll work closely with the Executive Chef, Sous Chef and wider kitchen brigade to maintain the exceptional standards that have earned The Tiger Inn its outstanding reputation.

This is a hands-on leadership role within a busy, professional kitchen where creativity, consistency and teamwork are at the heart of everything we do. You'll help oversee daily kitchen operations, mentor junior chefs and ensure every dish leaving the pass is executed to the highest standard.

We're looking for someone who thrives under pressure, enjoys developing others and takes real pride in producing outstanding food.

Package

£38,000–£42,000 per annum

Experience within a quality fresh-food restaurant or high end gastropub.
Rosette-level experience or equivalent desirable.
Strong knowledge across all kitchen sections, including butchery, fish and pastry.
Passion for seasonal ingredients and quality cooking.
Calm, organised and able to perform under pressure.
Excellent communication and leadership skills.
Professional, reliable and detail-orientated.
Level 2 Food Hygiene Certificate (Level 3 desirable).
Full UK driving licence and own transport preferred.
Ambitious, driven and eager to develop within an award-winning hospitality business.

Competitive salary plus generous tips.
Ongoing training and professional development.
Clear career progression within Contemporary Pubs.

Free meals whilst on duty.
Company events and team socials.
