Chef de Partie (CDP)
£13.50–£14.50 per hour (equivalent to £30,900–£33,200 per year) + share of card tips

About us
We are looking for an enthusiastic Chef de Partie to join our kitchen team. This role is perfect for a chef who wants to develop their skills, work with fresh seasonal food, and progress towards Sous Chef in the future.

Tucked away by the canal at Bulbourne, just outside Tring, the Grand Junction Arms is a destination for those who love proper pubs. Whether you’re arriving from the Chiltern Hills, cycling along the towpath, or making the short trip from London by train, you’ll always find a warm welcome.

With vast gardens, outdoor bars and plenty of space to enjoy long summer days by the water, the Grand Junction is made for big gatherings and lazy afternoons. Inside, you’ll discover a buzzing pub atmosphere, with a great range of craft beers, cask ales, premium spirits and a carefully chosen wine list.

Our kitchen serves fresh, seasonal menus built around traditional pub favourites, elevated with local produce and contemporary touches. Every dish is cooked to order, with daily specials and sharers designed for lively tables.

As one of Hertfordshire’s best-kept secrets, the Grand Junction Arms combines the character of a classic canalside inn with the energy of a modern, food-led pub. Whether you’re here for a weekend feast, a pint in the garden or one of our summer events, it’s a place to eat, drink and make memories. 

This is your chance to join a growing independent pub group and be part of a supportive team in a busy, food-led environment.

What’s in it for you

• Pay: £13.50–£14.50/hr (equivalent to £30,900–£33,200/year)

• Tips: Share of card tips

• Perks: 50% off food & 20% off drinks across the group, 28 days holiday, staff discount, team socials

• Training: Supplier sessions, brewery visits, regular menu development opportunities

• Progression: Clear development pathway to Sous Chef

What you’ll be doing

• Running your own section with consistency and pride

• Preparing fresh, seasonal dishes to spec and high standards

• Working closely with the Sous and Head Chef on new dishes and specials

• Keeping the kitchen clean, safe and compliant at all times

• Supporting junior chefs and learning from senior team members

• Contributing ideas for menus and improving processes

What we’re looking for

• Experience as a CDP in a fresh-food kitchen (or strong Commis ready to step up)

• Organised and reliable with great attention to detail

• Passionate about fresh ingredients and seasonal cooking

• A team player with a positive attitude

• Knowledge of HACCP and food safety standards

• Ambitious to progress towards more senior chef roles

This is your chance to grow your skills, take on responsibility, and progress your career with a food-led independent pub group.

Apply today and join the team.
