Head Chef - 48K OTE - LIVE IN

About us:

We’re looking for a Head Chef for our food-focused pub, the Grantley Arms in Wonersh near Guildford.   You’ll be creating dishes from scratch, leading and developing the team in the kitchen, and looking after all aspects of kitchen management. Our food vision is all about creating stunning dishes from fresh, seasonal ingredients, and we support sustainable local British farmers to ensure that only top-quality produce ends up on our plates.  We are a country pub that is in the heart of the community, but we also welcome guests from across the county who love to visit us for a bite to eat – we even have a private dining room for that VIP experience! In return, we can offer a whole heap of opportunities to put your food at the forefront of what we do – whether that’s by food lead events, to private bookings and celebrations alongside support to grow your skills and career.

Situated on the outskirts of Guildford in the stunning village of Wonersh, we’ve been providing the locals with a place to come together for over 500 years. Our private dining room even used to be the old village bakery! Our amazing community-driven country pub has onsite parking as well as a reliable bus route between the towns of Guildford and Cranleigh.
Alongside our passion for fresh and seasonal produce, we are dedicated to developing our team.  All the usual perks apply as listed below, what’s not listed is the great team ethic we have and how we thrive to delight each and every one of our guests.
We can’t wait to meet you…

What we offer our Head Chefs:

• Head Chefs get to have full autonomy to create your own menus and specials

• Share save Scheme

What we look for in a Head Chef:

This role requires someone that can inspire a team, to bring out the potential and lead by example whilst being able to develop, cost and produce fresh seasonal menus for the variety of revenue streams within the business.
