Description

Pasture Sous Chef 

Wood fire. Big steaks. Serious standards. Real leadership.  

Salary: £34,000.00 base + £12,000–£14,000 in Tronc (on average)

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.

Sound like you? Come fire things up at Pasture Cardiff. 


As Sous Chef, you’re a solid support for the senior chefs,  but a leader in your own right. You’ll be trusted to run services, manage the team, and take real ownership when the Head Chef is off. You’ll lead from the front, calm, clear, and hands-on, helping the team stay sharp, focused, and full of pride in their work.

This is a role for someone who genuinely cares about people, someone who brings a team together, supports growth, and creates a positive, professional culture on every shift. You’ll coach junior chefs, pass on knowledge, and give feedback that actually helps. Because you know that great kitchens run on great teams.

What you’ll be doing:

  • Leading busy services with control, energy, and a clear head

  • Setting the tone and pace for the team, always leading from the front

  • Supporting the Head Chef with kitchen operations, standards, and structure

  • Coaching, developing, and motivating junior chefs daily

  • Managing sections, prep, cleanliness, and quality across the kitchen

  • Taking ownership when the Head Chef is off,  running the kitchen with confidence

  • Working closely with FOH to deliver a smooth, high-energy guest experience

  • Helping to drive creativity, consistency, and pride across every plate

You

You’re not just a great cook, you’re a great teammate and a natural leader. You know how to lift people up, keep things running tight, and handle pressure without losing control. You’ve got strong technical skills, high standards, and a real drive to help the people around you succeed. You’re organised, focused, and genuinely love the energy of a well-run service. You don’t cut corners, and you lead by doing things right. If that sounds like you, we want to meet.

Benefits at Pasture:
  • The hourly rate shown includes 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
  • Wagestream
  • 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.

This is an excellent opportunity to work with a great team in a progressive business where you will be appreciated and supported.
