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

Situated in the heart of Glastonbury, The George & Pilgrims Inn is a historic establishment dating back to the 15th century. As a Grade I listed building, it boasts a rich heritage, having originally served as accommodation for pilgrims visiting the nearby Glastonbury Abbey. The inn's medieval architecture, including stone mullioned windows and arched doorways, offers guests a unique and atmospheric experience steeped in history.

The inn features 14 en-suite rooms, each retaining original features while providing modern comforts. Guests can enjoy a cozy stay and the central location provides easy access to local attractions, shops, and the renowned Glastonbury Tor.

Culinary offerings at The George & Pilgrims Inn celebrate traditional British pub fare. The menu includes hearty pies, steaks, and a selection of classic dishes. The bar serves a variety of real ales, craft beers, and a curated selection of wines and spirits, providing the perfect accompaniment to any meal or a relaxing drink in the historic surroundings. 


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
  • Someone who is calm under pressure, has high standards and a passion for culinary excellence
