Sous Chef
Join an Award-Winning, Family-Run 2 AA Rosette Kitchen
We’re looking for a talented Sous Chef who wants more than just another kitchen job.
We are an independent, family-run business with a 2 AA Rosette restaurant and Five Star Gold Inn, recently named Best Inn in Great Britain 2024/2025 by the AA. We are proud of what we’ve built — and we’re ambitious about where we’re going.
This is a kitchen where standards matter, ingredients matter, and people matter.
About You
You love proper cooking.
Fresh, seasonal produce. Attention to detail. Consistency on every service.
You’re confident supporting and leading a team — and capable of running the kitchen when needed.
You stay calm during busy service, you respect systems, and you understand that great kitchens are built on discipline as much as creativity.
You enjoy mentoring younger chefs and being part of a team that genuinely wants to improve together.
