This isn’t just another Head Chef job — this is your chance to take the reins of a kitchen that lives and breathes our Core Values 

Driven by people, Inspired by Innovation and Crafted for Guests.

Here, we don’t just want a Head Chef to run the pass — we want a true leader. Someone who cares about food, and about the people cooking it.

If you want ownership, influence, and a role that respects your craft, you’re in the right place.

Situated on the outskirts of Aylesbury, The Broad Leys is a charming 300-year-old pub and restaurant that offers a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of town life.

With seven boutique, en-suite bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed to blend historic character with modern comforts, we provide guests with a unique and memorable stay.

Our menu features comforting pub classics crafted from locally sourced ingredients, complemented by a selection of craft beers, artisan spirits, and a carefully curated wine list.

Whether enjoying a meal in our cosy dining area or relaxing in our spacious garden, guests experience the warm hospitality that defines The Broad Leys. We are dedicated to delivering exceptional service and creating a welcoming atmosphere for all. If you're passionate about hospitality and eager to be part of a dynamic team in a historic setting, we invite you to explore career opportunities with us. 


The job in a nutshell

  • Lead and inspire the team to deliver consistent, memorable food experiences
  • Control the kitchen P&L - from costing to stock management and labour
  • Recruit, train and develop a high performing, happy kitchen team
  • Ensure every plate meets exceptional standards for flavour, presentation and wow factor
  • Own hygiene, compliance and safe working practices
What we are looking for:

  • An experienced Head Chef or strong Sous Chef looking to make a difference
  • A people-first leader who knows happy kitchens make the best food
  • Confident in managing both service and systems
  • Passionate about local produce, seasonal dishes, and a positive kitchen culture
