Our Head Chef is happy to invest time in training and developing the right person, with the opportunity to progress into a Sous Chef role.
For us, attitude matters just as much as the job title on your CV. If you can cook, take pride in your food, stay organised during service and enjoy being part of a small team, we’d like to hear from you.

- Reliable and hardworking
- Positive and willing to get stuck in
- Calm and organised during busy services
- A good team player
- Keen to learn, develop and take on more responsibility
We’re interested in finding the right person rather than the right job title.
Hours
This is a 5-day working week with no split shifts and no Sunday evening service.
Depending on the shift, starts can be from around 9:30am.
Most evening finishes are around 8:30pm–9:30pm, with approximately 10:30pm being the latest finish when required on exceptionally busy weekends.
We have approximately 30–45 hours per week available, with some flexibility depending on the person and the hours you’re looking for.
About us
The London Inn is a friendly independent country pub in St Neot, on the edge of Bodmin Moor.
We serve high-quality, freshly prepared pub food and have a strong local following and consistent year-round trade.
A typical weekday evening is around 30 covers, with around 60 covers on a weekend evening. During the busiest summer periods this can rise to around 100 covers, with Sundays typically around 90.
Unlike many hospitality businesses in Cornwall, this is a genuine permanent, year-round position rather than a seasonal summer role.
We’re approximately 7 miles from Liskeard and 9 miles from Bodmin, with access from both the A38 and A30.
Because of our rural location, your own transport will normally be required.
Interested?
You don’t need to write us a formal cover letter.
Send us your CV, or a quick message telling us a little about your kitchen experience and we’ll get back to you.
If you’re a good Cook looking for £15 an hour, no split shifts, Sunday evenings off, stable year-round work and the opportunity to progress, we’d love to hear from you.

Expected hours: 30.0 – 40.0 per week
Benefits:
- Company pension
- Discounted or free food
- Flexible schedule
