We’re The Rose & Crown – a cosy, welcoming village pub with a busy kitchen – and we’re looking for a reliable Cook with some kitchen experience who can confidently work on service in a busy pub kitchen.
This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who enjoys responsibility, thrives in a supportive kitchen, and is ready to apply their skills in a fast-paced environment. You will play an important role in helping us deliver delicious, well-presented dishes every day.
Responsibilities

- Supporting the team with daily tasks and menu preparation.
- Maintaining excellent food hygiene and safety standards.
- Ensuring your work station is clean, stocked, and well-organised.
- Assisting with stock control, ordering, and reducing waste as directed.
- Working collaboratively with the rest of the team to deliver great food consistently.
- This is a part-time role averaging around 20 hours per week.
Qualifications
- Previous experience in a commercial kitchen (Cook, Commis Chef, or strong Kitchen Assistant) with hands-on cooking during service.
- Solid understanding of kitchen operations and food safety standards.
- Ability to stay calm and productive under pressure.
- A passion for cooking and presenting great food.
- Strong team ethic and good communication skills.
- Reliability, punctuality, and a proactive attitude.
- Flexibility to work a range of shifts, including evenings and weekends.
- Food hygiene certification is a bonus but not essential.
- This is a hands-on, fast-paced kitchen role during busy service periods.
Perks
- Pay: £12.50 – £14.00 per hour depending on experience
- Discounted staff meals (plus discounts for friends & family).
- Free soft drinks during shifts.
- Team socials and staff events.
- Free on-site parking.
- Opportunities for professional development and career progression.
- A friendly, down-to-earth team in a welcoming village pub.
