Chef, Premium Pub - £13.55 + Tips + 60% off meals 

Acquired by Hall & Woodhouse in February 2022, the Royal Lion is a beautiful coaching inn dating from 1601, a remarkable hidden gem within 100 yards of the fabulous beach at Lyme Regis. Situated in a bustling street it's the perfect base for tourists exploring the stunning Jurassic coast, and for locals to relax and enjoy great food and drink couched in warm Hall & Woodhouse hospitality. The hotel offers a full range of guest facilities for short breaks or events with options for relaxed and more formal dining; and 33 individually styled rooms to make any stay at the Royal Lion truly memorable.

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.
