Sous Chef - Busy Cheltenham center pub
The Exmouth is one of the iconic pubs of Cheltenham. It is an independent pub which has been owned by the same family for the last 19 years. Situated on the Bath Road, it is part of a bustling busy community & we are known for our friendliness & great atmosphere.
Our wow factor is our garden, which is arguably the biggest in town, with sprawling patios, a horsebox bar & our famous wood fired pizza oven.
There’s a newly redecorated function room, which is a great community space for local classes, but also hosts parties with set menus or afternoon teas.
Who we are looking for?
We are looking for a motivated, talented & exciting Sous Chef with a passion for cooking great pub food using fresh ingredients to create seasonal dishes with a creative development approach. You must have an exceptional eye for detail from prep to pass as you can only be as good as the last meal that we sent out.

You must be ready to assist our Head Chef with the running of the kitchen, as you will be responsible for running the kitchen on the Head Chef’s days off.

We will help & develop you as much as we possibly can with regards to training and courses if that is what interests you.
