Chef, Premium Pub - New rate £14.00 from April 1st + Tips + 60% off meals 

Marvelous Milk Churn

Part of the Hall & Woodhouse family of exceptional community food pubs and situated on the edge of the market town of Melksham, just off the A350 the Milk Churn, built in 2014 in the style of a Wiltshire farmhouse with attached barn, is the perfect example of a proper country pub at the heart of its local community. Convenient for Chippenham, Trowbridge and Warminster, with a beautiful garden and outside children’s play area ideal for summer, as well as roaring log fires and oak beams inside, perfect for the shorter and colder winter months, the Milk Churn really is the perfect busy pub all year round.

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
• £13.55 per hour, rising to £14.00 from 1/4/26
• 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)
• 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
