The Cock Hitchin & The George, Graveley | Herts Pubs
We’re recruiting chefs to join The Cock Hitchin and The George, Graveley, built on the same ethos, standards, and way of working.
The Cock Hitchin & The George, Graveley is a chef-led pub focused on:
- hyper-seasonal cooking
- menus that change with the ingredients
- everything made fresh on site
- simplicity done properly
We cook what’s good now. No shortcuts. No frozen solutions. No filler.
The new opening will follow the same principles — this isn’t a separate concept, it’s an extension of how we already work, just with different content.
Who we’re looking for
This is for chefs who:
- have strong experience cooking with fresh, seasonal ingredients
- enjoy menus that evolve rather than repeat
- care about flavour, balance, and consistency
- value calm, organised kitchens over chaos
For senior roles, rosette or Michelin Guide experience is highly valued.
This is not a kitchen for ego or shortcuts.
The work
- Cooking entirely from fresh ingredients
- Working with menus that change regularly
- Maintaining clean, well-run sections
- Contributing to menu development
- Helping shape a new kitchen while supporting an established one
What we offer
- Competitive pay based on experience
- Clear progression within a growing group
- Strong leadership and structure
- Kitchens that are busy but controlled
- The opportunity to grow with a business that takes food seriously
Why join us
We’re building kitchens where:
- the food leads the conversation
- ingredients dictate the menu
- standards are high but sustainable
- people are respected
If you want to cook seasonally, properly, and with intent, we’d love to hear from you.
