Head Chef 

About us:

The King Street Brew House is the Cambridge's ultimate brewpub. Powered by great beer, good times, and our farm-to-fork comfort food, we’re all about creating memorable experiences for our guests.

Our private rooms offer the perfect setting to keep the celebrations going, while our lively downstairs bar is the ideal spot to catch the next big game or throw a few darts with friends.

All our beer is crafted fresh on-site by our award-winning brewer, ensuring every pint is perfectly poured and full of character.

We take our beer and our guest experience seriously — but never ourselves.



Join Our Team

Love good beer, good food, and good vibes? You’ll fit right in at The King Street Brew House

We’re always on the lookout for awesome people to join our crew — whether you’re a bar wizard, kitchen superstar, or all-round hospitality legend. If you’ve got energy to spare, a genuine smile, and a passion for making people’s day, we want you on our team.

At The King Street Brew House, no two days are ever the same. You’ll be part of a fun, welcoming bunch who know how to work hard, laugh harder, and celebrate every win (usually with a pint in hand ?).

So if you’re looking for a place where work feels more like hanging out with mates — and you get to be part of something special in the heart of Cambridge — come join the fun!

Being a Head Chef at Young's:

We believe every pub should be different.  This means that you'll be writing your own recipes that match the food vision of your business using fresh seasonal ingredients.   The food vision could be all about showcasing local produce, country pub classics, seafood, small plates and sharers, dry-aged meat - each pub is different and its up to you as head chef to put your own creative stamp on that vision.   We work with fresh, seasonal produce, so the menu should constantly evolve to showcase these fantastic ingredients when they are at their best.  Premium fresh food crafted by skilled chefs in Premium Pubs .

What we offer our Head Chefs:

  • Head Chefs get to have full autonomy to create your own menus and specials
  • Access to our Apprenticeship Scheme and Development Programmes

  • 28 Days Holiday per year

What we look for in a Head Chef:

This role requires someone that can inspire a team, to bring out the potential and lead by example whilst being able to develop, cost and produce fresh seasonal menus for the variety of revenue streams within the business.

  • Have experience championing excellent service through quality food either as a Head Chef or in the position of Sous Chef
  • Demonstrate a passion for leading and developing a team
