We’re looking for a confident and experienced Head Chef who:

  • Is comfortable running a busy kitchen and thrives under pressure

  • Has strong GP and costing knowledge with a sharp eye on margins

  • Can manage stock ordering, prep planning, and minimise wastage

  • Works collaboratively with the front of house to ensure seamless service

  • Is passionate about fresh, flavour-led, gastro-style pub food

  • Enjoys leading a team with positivity, good humour and respect

Experience with buffets, sit-down events and managing dietary requirements is a must – our calendar contains bookings for private events, corporate functions, and fun community nights!


 Typical Service Times:
  • Lunch: 12pm–3:00pm (3.:30pm on Saturday)
