Head Chef - £17.00 per hour plus generous tips & bonus - (Paid for every hour worked) 

The Station House, Cheadle Hulme, SK8 7AA

We’re Almond Family Pubs - a proud, independent, family-owned group known for doing things properly. Since opening in October, our new refurbished and rebranded premium pub in Cheadle Hulme has quickly established itself as a hugely successful, food-led destination at the heart of the local community.

Now, we’re looking for an outstanding Head Chef with a strong commercial mindset to take the kitchen to the next stage of its journey.

With 200 covers inside and a further 230 outside, this is a large, high-volume site with a proven appetite for quality food. The menu focuses on fresh, seasonal dishes alongside premium takes on pub classics, and the kitchen plays a central role in the pub’s continued success. You’ll lead, develop and shape a talented brigade, with the autonomy to put your stamp on an already thriving operation.

This is an opportunity to step into a well-traded, high-profile kitchen within a business that genuinely values quality, consistency and team culture.

With a superb collection of beautiful pubs across Stockport and the surrounding areas, Almond Family Pubs is a special place to build your career. As a close-knit, 100% family-owned business, we’re passionate about great pubs, exceptional hospitality and memorable food. Known for our well-executed pub classics and excellent beers and wines, this site proudly becomes the fifth pub in our growing family.

Join us and we can offer you benefits such as…

·       Excellent tips – currently averaging at £3.50 per hour

·       Performance based bonus scheme

·       Flexible hours with a healthy life/work balance

·       50% off food for you and 3 others in any Almond Family pub

·       Excellent training, development, and progression opportunities

·       Free food and drinks whilst on shift

·       A fun, supportive, and inclusive work environment with a real family feel

·       Regular team events and incentives

As Head Chef, you will:

·       Take full ownership of the kitchen operation, from prep to pass

·       Lead, inspire, and develop your team to deliver consistent, top-quality food

·       Create a positive kitchen culture with strong training, support and communication

·       Drive and maintain high standards in food safety, cleanliness and compliance

·       Work closely with the General Manager and Operations Chef to hit targets and maximise kitchen performance

·       Have input into menu development and specials, showcasing fresh, seasonal ingredients

·       Manage stock, wastage and GP – and ensure everything runs like clockwork during service

We’re looking for a Head Chef who brings:

·       Proven experience in high-volume, premium pub or casual dining kitchens

·       Energy and a ‘can-do’ attitude

·       Commercially astute and confident managing food GP, margins and wastage

·       Strong leadership skills and a passion for team development

·       A commitment to fresh, quality food and consistency under pressure

·       A calm, professional approach – even in a fast-paced environment

·       Knowledge of compliance, food safety, and kitchen best practices

·       Experience managing labour costs and ensure staffing levels are appropriate

·       A proactive, hands-on attitude and a desire to be part of something special
