Description
SENIOR SOUS CHEF 

The Salary rate for this role includes a competitive share of Tronc. 100% of Tronc is distributed to the staff, giving approximately £8000-£10000 per Year above the standard Salary rate of £38000.00. 

Pasture Cardiff is our bold second chapter — a true lockdown baby that’s grown into one of the city’s most vibrant dining destinations. Nestled in the heart of Cardiff, just steps from the iconic Cardiff Castle, the restaurant is built for theatre, energy, and unforgettable nights.

Our open kitchen puts live-fire cooking at the heart of the experience, with charcoal grills and dry-ageing cabinets on full display. On weekends, our resident DJ keeps the energy high late into the evening — because at Pasture, dining is a show, not just a meal.

We proudly source our beef from pasture-raised cattle across Wales and the South West, working closely with local farmers and producers to bring the best of the region to the table. Our beautiful terrace in the city centre adds a unique alfresco edge — perfect for cocktails, people-watching, and those long summer nights.

We’re looking for passionate, positive, and driven individuals to join our Cardiff crew — people who thrive in a fast-paced, high-energy environment and are ready to be part of something special.

What we are looking for:

A dedicated and ambitious Senior Sous Chef to join a high-performing team in a dynamic open-fire kitchen. This is an ideal opportunity for someone with strong leadership skills and a passion for cooking over fire, working with whole animals, and showcasing the very best local, seasonal produce.

You’ll be a key part of a restaurant that values creativity, integrity, and collaboration. You'll also play a central role in shaping the kitchen culture, developing junior chefs, and helping drive innovation and excellence on every plate.

 What You'll Be Doing

In this role, you’ll support the Head Chef in the daily operation of a high-energy kitchen, with a strong focus on wood-fired cooking & butchery. You’ll take a leading role in motivating and managing the team, ensuring that consistently high standards of food and service are delivered.

 You'll contribute to menu development and creative direction, bringing new ideas and techniques to the table. Day-to-day responsibilities will also include managing food orders, stock levels, kitchen systems to maintain efficiency and minimise waste and people. Throughout, you’ll uphold the highest standards of food hygiene, safety, and compliance across the kitchen.

Benefits at Pasture:
  • A competitive share of Tronc: 100% of Tronc is distributed to the staff.
  • 28 days holiday - including bank holidays
  • 20% off food and drink in our restaurants for up to six people
  • Opportunity for growth and progression
  • Long service benefits
  • 1 day of paid volunteering per year, with a charity of your choice
  • Regular staff trips are arranged to our farm and to our suppliers
  • Employee assistance program provided by Hospitality Action

  • Company events and parties
In a nutshell, Pasture is about fine dining for everyone, with slick, engaging service, top-quality food and a team whose knowledge is as strong as its passion.
