Chef de Partie

We are a bold, award-winning business who pride ourselves in giving our chefs the freedom to create premium, seasonal menus that ‘wow’ our customers within an industry-leading environment.  We run friendly, welcoming, and positive kitchens with high standards; always striving to be the best we can be.

We are looking for a Chef de Partie to join the family. 

Perched on the edge of the historic Bristol harbourside, The Ostrich sits proudly with its huge pub garden and cosy interiors over two floors. Upstairs, the newly refurbished ‘Top Deck’ dining space and bar offers the perfect spot to eat and drink, with stunning views over the harbour, and is available for private hire. Please note you can only book a table in our Top Deck bar, outside is a first come first serve basis.

On the menu, it’s a celebration of traditional British pub classics and seasonal, local produce, with exciting small plates and delicious boards for sharing, plus our famous pies and bar snacks. When Sunday comes, expect Bristol’s best roasts and the star of the show – our sharing pies.

Behind the bar, it’s all about award-winning Butcombe beers and an extensive rum menu – a nod to The Ostrich’s roots as a dockside inn where sailors, merchants and dock-workers once drank.
