NO SPONSORSHIP - NO LIVE IN
Traditional Country Pub (Full & Part Time Positions Available)
The Skimmington Castle is a busy, family-run traditional country pub serving freshly prepared, classic English food. We’re looking for enthusiastic and reliable chefs who enjoy working as part of a close-knit team in a friendly environment where everyone mucks in and our regulars are greeted by name.
This is not a live-in position, and we are unable to offer sponsorship.
What we’re looking for
Passionate chefs who take pride in producing quality, traditional English pub food
Genuine team players who are happy to help wherever needed.
Willing to wash up, prep, clean and support the kitchen team – no job is beneath anyone here.
People who thrive in a busy kitchen and stay calm during fast-paced service.
Positive attitudes with a strong work ethic and great attention to detail.
Friendly, approachable people who want to be part of a family-run business.
Responsibilities
Preparing and cooking high-quality traditional pub dishes.
Maintaining excellent food hygiene and cleanliness standards at all times.
Ensuring the kitchen consistently meets Environmental Health Officer (EHO) standards.
Managing stock, food preparation and minimising waste.
Keeping the kitchen clean, organised and ready for service.
Working closely with the front-of-house team to deliver a great customer experience.
Requirements
Previous experience in a professional kitchen.
A full UK driving licence and access to your own transport, as our rural location is not easily accessible by public transport.
Flexibility to work evenings, weekends and bank holidays.
Some split shifts may be required.
Breakfast service begins at 9:30am. We are closed on Monday and Tuesday evenings, offering a better work-life balance than many hospitality roles.
