Sous Chef – Boutique Hotel & Restaurant
Loftsome Bridge Hotel
We’re looking for a talented and enthusiastic Sous Chef to join our small, friendly kitchen team at Loftsome Bridge Hotel.
This could be an excellent next step for an experienced Chef de Partie who is ready for more responsibility, or an established Sous Chef who would enjoy working in a smaller kitchen where quality matters and you have the freedom to contribute ideas.
We’re particularly interested in someone who enjoys the hands-on, creative side of cooking. Alongside our restaurant dishes, we make our own artisan pizzas, small-batch breads and seasonal ice creams in-house.
The role
Working closely with our Head Chef, you’ll be involved across the kitchen and will have genuine responsibility within the team.
Your role will include:
- Running and developing our artisan pizza section
- Making and baking small-batch breads
- Creating seasonal ice creams and desserts in-house
- Supporting the Head Chef with day-to-day kitchen operations
- Preparing and cooking fresh dishes to a consistently high standard
- Helping with menu development and bringing your own ideas to the kitchen
- Maintaining excellent standards of food hygiene, organisation and presentation
- Taking responsibility in the Head Chef’s absence when required
Who we’re looking for
We’d love to hear from someone who:
- Is an experienced Chef de Partie ready to progress, or already working at Sous Chef level
- Has a genuine interest in fresh, well-made food
- Enjoys working with dough, bread and artisan pizza — experience is an advantage, but enthusiasm is just as important
- Is reliable, organised and comfortable taking responsibility
- Enjoys being part of a small, close-knit kitchen team
- Wants a role where they can have some creative input rather than simply following a large corporate menu
Why Loftsome Bridge?
We’re an independent boutique hotel and restaurant with a very different atmosphere from a large, high-volume kitchen.
Our kitchen is small and personal, with an emphasis on quality, consistency and food made with care. This is a role for someone who wants to develop their skills, have their ideas listened to and become an important part of the team.
