Chef, Premium Pub - Live in available + £14.00 per hour + Tips + 60% off meals 

Black Swan - Glorious 19th Century Pub

Part of the Hall & Woodhouse family of fabulous food pubs, and located just 1 mile from the M23 and Pease Pottage services, the Black Swan is the perfect example of a quality and friendly English pub. Family friendly with a large garden, function room, great food, drinks and coffee, a cosy bar and roaring fires, the Black Swan has been recently refurbished and is the perfect place to relax and unwind. The pub, which dates back to the 19th century, had its name changed in the 1980s but when Hall & Woodhouse acquired the pub in 2001 they reinstated the ‘Black Swan’ as the name.

We’re growing our kitchen team and looking for an experienced CDP, Section Chef or Line Chef to jump in and help us keep the good stuff coming. If you love great food, enjoy a buzzing service, and want to work with a genuinely supportive crew, this could be your next spot.

What you’ll get:

• A proper work–life balance: 5 days on, 2 days off
• £14.00 per hour
• A share of tips + extra rewards for standout performance
• Reliable hours with permanent or seasonal contracts
• A full benefits package in a business that puts sustainability first
• 60% off meals on shift, plus free uniform and kitchen shoes
• Loads of training and development opportunities — we’re a Sunday Times Best Places to Work company
• Pathway to a Level 3 Production Chef apprenticeship (if you meet the entry criteria)
• Optional live‑in accommodation at £77.70 per week (depending on availability)
• A warm welcome and a team that always has your back

You’ll fit right in if you’re:

• A hands‑on Chef de Partie who really cares about what you do
• Confident running a section and nailing consistency and presentation
• Happy working to spec's with no variations allowed
• Trained in food safety, hygiene, and allergen procedures
• A team player who likes supporting others and keeping the vibe positive
• Someone who thrives when service gets busy
• On top of compliance and committed to doing things the right way
• Looking for a solid chef role for the season — and hopefully longer
• Experienced in a busy kitchen and ready to hit the ground running

If you care about what you cook, love being part of a strong team, and enjoy the buzz of a lively kitchen, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now and let’s get you cooking!
