Help us create the pub everyone is talking about.
Five years from now, we want people to say, “Have you been to The Plough? The food is incredible.”
We want people to make the journey to Allscott because they've heard about the food.
We're looking for the chef who can make that happen.
This isn't just another Head Chef role. It's a rare opportunity to build a kitchen, create a food offering from the ground up and leave your mark on one of the most exciting pub openings in the Telford area for many years.
Following a £500,000 investment, The Plough Inn is being completely transformed. Alongside a stunning refurbishment of the pub, we're creating a brand-new commercial kitchen and are looking for someone with the passion, ambition and creativity to bring it to life.
Whether you're already an experienced Head Chef or an ambitious Sous Chef who's ready to take the next step, we'd love to hear from you.
This is your kitchen.
You'll have genuine influence over every part of the food operation.
From designing the menu and choosing suppliers to recruiting your team and shaping the culture of the kitchen, we want your ideas—not someone else's.
We don't want to hand you a folder and say, "Cook this."
We want to build something together.
If you've always wanted the opportunity to create food you're genuinely proud of, this is your chance.
Small Kitchen. Big Ideas.
Our kitchen is completely brand new, fitted with quality equipment and designed specifically for the way we want to operate.
It isn't the biggest kitchen—and that's absolutely fine.
We're looking for someone who sees that as an opportunity, not a limitation.
Someone who understands that outstanding food comes from brilliant ideas, great ingredients and consistent execution—not simply having the largest kitchen.
We want to create an offering unlike anything else in the local area.
Food that people recommend.
Food that brings guests back.
Food that's worth travelling for.
If you're inventive, passionate and enjoy creating exciting dishes without unnecessary complexity, you'll fit right in.
What You'll Be Doing
· Designing and developing our menus.
· Creating seasonal specials.
· Choosing suppliers and sourcing quality ingredients.
· Recruiting, training and leading your own kitchen team.
· Setting the standards from day one.
· Managing food quality, GP and stock.
· Working closely with the management team to help establish The Plough Inn as one of Shropshire's best-loved destination pubs.
Who We're Looking For
We're far more interested in attitude than job titles.
You may already be an experienced Head Chef looking for a fresh challenge, or you may be an exceptional Sous Chef who's ready for the opportunity you've been waiting for.
What matters most is that you:
· Love producing fantastic food.
· Have ideas and want the freedom to bring them to life.
· Lead by example.
· Take pride in your work.
· Understand the commercial side of running a successful kitchen.

What We Offer
· Salary negotiable depending on experience.
· The opportunity to launch and shape a brand-new kitchen.
· Complete creative influence over menus and suppliers.
· A supportive management team that values ideas and innovation.
· A healthy approach to work-life balance.
· Ongoing training and development.
· Excellent opportunities for career progression as Furious Pub Company continues to grow.
This Isn't Just Another Kitchen.
We're building a pub that the local community can be proud of.
A pub where the food is every bit as important as the beer.
A pub that's full of character, quality and hospitality.
And we're looking for a chef who wants to build that with us.
If you've been waiting for the chance to create something from the ground up rather than simply inherit someone else's kitchen, we'd love to hear from you.
Come and build your reputation with us.
