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. 

Situated on the banks of the River Cherwell in Old Marston, the Victoria is a stunning riverside pub and restaurant. Full of local history, the building dates back to the 17th century and once hosted a certain Oliver Cromwell. Newly refurbished, the Victoria now offers traditional pub charm with beautiful interiors, a new heated pergola terrace, and huge beer gardens overlooking the river.

In the kitchen our focus is hearty seasonal dishes and elevated pub classics, with local produce and ingredients at the heart of the menu. In the warmer months, it’s all about street food inspiration, with wood-fired pizza, smash burgers, and soft-serve ice cream served to our busy terrace and garden. Behind the bar we’re proud of our beer selection, with a great range of ale, lager and cider courtesy of our award-winning Butcombe Brewery.

Look out for exciting events, live music and pop-ups throughout the summer!
