Plus tips
The Salt Barge is an independent countryside pub beside the canal in Marston, entering an exciting new chapter.
After two years without serving food, we are reopening our kitchen with a brand-new fit-out, a new team and a completely new menu. We are looking for a reliable and enthusiastic Chef de Partie to join us and help build a food offering we can be proud of.
Our aim is simple: proper pub food, done right — fresh, local and full of flavour.
Around 95% of our menu will be prepared fresh in-house, including stocks, gravies, sauces and traditional puddings. We are also working with local suppliers, including producers and a dairy farm located less than 30 minutes away.
As Chef de Partie, you will work closely with the Head Chef and Sous Chef to prepare, cook and present dishes to a consistently high standard. You will take responsibility for your section, help maintain a clean and organised kitchen and support the team during busy services.
Your responsibilities will include:
Preparing and cooking fresh food to agreed recipes and standards
Running your kitchen section during service
Maintaining excellent food presentation and portion control
Following food safety, hygiene and allergen procedures
Completing daily preparation and cleaning duties
Checking stock levels and helping reduce food waste
Receiving and storing deliveries correctly
Supporting junior chefs and kitchen assistants
Helping with seasonal specials and menu development
Working as part of a positive and dependable kitchen team
We are looking for someone who:
Has experience working in a professional kitchen
Enjoys preparing fresh food
Can remain calm and organised during busy services
Takes pride in food quality, cleanliness and presentation
Is reliable, punctual and willing to learn
Can work evenings, weekends and bank holidays when required
Communicates well and works positively with others
Previous Chef de Partie experience is preferred, although we will also consider a strong Commis Chef who is ready to progress and take responsibility for their own section.
This is a great opportunity to join The Salt Barge at the beginning of its new food journey, develop your skills and become an important part of a brand-new kitchen team.
