SOUS CHEF JOB SPECIFICATION

The Tunnel House Inn, Cotswolds
Opening Spring 2026
Modern Cotswold Kitchen | Premium Pub & Dining | Sister Site: The Bell at Sapperton

THE ROLE

We are recruiting a talented, ambitious and hands-on Sous Chef to support the Head Chef in the relaunch of The Tunnel House Inn, a historic Cotswolds destination reopening after five years.

This is a key leadership role within the kitchen team. You will work directly alongside the Head Chef to deliver a seasonal, locally sourced menu centred around quality, consistency and fire-led cooking. You will help build a calm, organised and professional kitchen culture, support junior chefs, and ensure every service runs smoothly.

The Sous Chef will be the Head Chef’s right hand: confident on the pass, strong on prep and organisation, commercially aware, and capable of stepping up to lead the kitchen in the Head Chef’s absence.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Kitchen Leadership & Culture

· Support the Head Chef in building, training and motivating a positive kitchen team.

· Help create a calm, organised, respectful and ego-free working environment.

· Lead by example during prep and service: hands-on, focused and professional

· Support junior chefs with coaching, daily feedback and clear standards.

· Step up to lead shifts and services in the Head Chef’s absence.

· Help maintain strong communication between the kitchen, front of house and management.

Food Quality & Menu Delivery

Ensure all dishes are prepared and presented consistently to spec.
Run sections confidently and support other chefs during busy services.
Assist with specials, prep planning, tastings and menu development.
Monitor food quality during service and act where standards slip.
Respond positively to guest feedback and support continuous improvement.

Prep, Organisation & Service Standards

Help manage daily prep lists, par levels, section setup and service plans.
Ensure the kitchen is fully prepared for each service.
Support smooth service flow and help prevent bottlenecks during busy periods.
Maintain clean, organised and well-managed sections.
Help implement and maintain SOPs, recipes and portion control.
Support stock rotation, labelling, storage and waste control.

Commercial & Financial Support

Support the Head Chef in achieving GP, labour and stock targets.
Help manage ordering, stock control and kitchen waste.
Follow portioning and recipe standards to protect consistency and margin.
Understand the impact of food cost, labour, wastage and menu mix.
Contribute ideas that improve efficiency without compromising quality.
Support accurate stocktakes and responsible use of ingredients.

Compliance & Kitchen Standards

Help ensure all food safety, allergen, HACCP, EHO and hygiene standards are followed.
Maintain high standards of cleanliness, organisation and safe working practices.
Support daily temperature checks, cleaning schedules and compliance records.
Ensure junior team members understand and follow food safety procedures.
Report maintenance, equipment or safety issues promptly.
Help create a kitchen that is always audit-ready.

Team Development & Future Growth

Support the development of Commis Chefs, CDPs and junior team members.
Help embed consistent ways of working as the business grows.
Participate in training, menu development and operational improvements.
Contribute to a strong kitchen culture that can support future sites.
Show ambition to grow with the company and develop into senior leadership.

THE IDEAL CANDIDATE

A strong Sous Chef who combines craft, calm leadership and excellent organisation.

You are:

Hands-on: confident running sections and supporting the pass.

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

Current Sous Chef, Junior Sous Chef ready to step up, or strong CDP with leadership potential.
Experience in premium pubs, high-end casual dining, destination restaurants or quality-led kitchens.
Experience with seasonal, fresh food kitchens.
Fire-cooking experience is desirable but not essential.
Confident running busy sections and supporting high-volume service.
Good understanding of food hygiene, allergens and kitchen compliance.
Experience coaching junior chefs is an advantage.
Basic understanding of GP, stock control, waste and portion management.
Comfortable working in a new opening or fast-paced environment.

PACKAGE & BENEFITS

Clear development pathway under an experienced Head Chef.
Career progression as the group expands.
Creative input into specials and menu development.
