Job Summary
We are on the lookout for an experienced Senior Chef De Partie making the move to Sous, or current Sous Chef to join our pub community at The Barley Mow where we do things a bit differently!
This is an exciting opportunity for a talented and ambitious individual to make their mark, along with the Head Chef, creating spectacular seasonal dishes, with full autonomy and creativity.
Why work with us? Because progression, sustainability, care, drive and passion are always at the forefront; our bread and butter. Quite literally. (Along with an after-shift drink of course...!).
We are a successful pub growing and building for the future with an amazing front and back of house team. Not only do we offer individualism and progression opportunities, but we also offer the chance to become part of our new kitchen build for next year; our 5-star reputation will be reflected in a state of the art, built-to-fit kitchen, where comfortability will be key.
Due to the position being offered, a high calibre chef, from preferably a farm-to-fork/fine dining background would be most advantageous.
Working hours will be approximately 40-50 per week, with split shifts and one straight, but early finishes. Expect to have lunch service ended at 2:30, and dinner service by 8:30. Offering a much-needed work/life balance! (Unheard of, right?!). Your usual days off will be Mondays and Wednesdays, with the odd evening off where applicable!
Candidates will also be subject to a trades test upon a successful interview process, so we can see what you love to cook!
Salary open to negotiation.
