The Role
We are looking for a skilled, reliable Full-Time Chef to step in as our kitchen's second-in-command. You will be working directly alongside Maria, our Head Chef and Landlady, essentially acting as the "second-Maria" of the kitchen. This is a hands-on role where you will not only cook but also help shape the future of our food offering.
Key Responsibilities:
- Preparing, cooking, and plating high-quality, homemade pub classics to a consistently high standard.
- Regularly running the pub kitchen completely independently during shifts.
- Collaborating directly with Maria to develop, refine, and expand our menu.
- Maintaining strict standards of food hygiene, safety, and kitchen cleanliness.
What We Are Looking For
- Experience: 3+ years of relevant kitchen experience.
- Independence: Complete confidence and capability to run a busy pub kitchen on your own.
- Attitude: A passion for great pub food without the gastropub pretension.
- Reliability: Strong communication skills, punctuality, and a genuine team-player mindset.
What We Offer
- Competitive Pay: Based heavily on your experience and capability.
- Creative Input: A real opportunity to develop the offering and put your stamp on the menu.
- Vibrant Atmosphere: Work in the heart of Watford's premier live-music venue with a close-knit team.
- Flexible Schedule: Full-time hours (exact hours and shift patterns to be discussed at interview).
