Head Chef 
£45,000 + Tronc/Tips

The Lass O’ Richmond Hill, Richmond

We’re looking for a passionate and creative Head Chef to lead the kitchen at the Lass O’ Richmond Hill — a destination pub on the edge of Richmond Park with a proud reputation for bold flavours, seasonal cooking, and unforgettable hospitality.

Our food is rooted in the heritage of the British pub but elevated with modern techniques, celebrating the best of each season. We take inspiration from our surroundings, often showcasing foraged ingredients from Richmond Park, and have built a loyal following of locals and visitors who come for our roaring fires in winter, sun-soaked garden in summer, and menus that evolve throughout the year.

The Lass stands at the forefront of food innovation within Young’s, and this role offers the chance to shape that journey further. We are looking for a Head Chef who will work closely alongside our General Manager, Chris, to explore and define the food vision — creating a truly unique and memorable dining experience.

What you’ll do as Head Chef

• Create and deliver seasonal menus and daily specials, celebrating the best British produce.

• Collaborate with the General Manager to innovate and develop the Lass’s food vision.

• Lead, train, and inspire your brigade, building a supportive, high-performing team culture.

• Manage kitchen operations including rota planning, ordering, training, and health & safety compliance.

• Drive sales and maintain strong GP and labour controls through effective planning and organisation.

• Work closely with front of house to ensure a seamless guest experience.

Why join Young’s?

At Young’s, every pub has its own identity — and every Head Chef their own creative stamp. You’ll have full autonomy to write menus that bring your food vision to life, supported by top-class ingredients and training opportunities.

We offer:

• Creative freedom to design your own menus and specials.

• Apprenticeship and Development programmes to support your growth.

• Access to culinary masterclasses (Game, Butchery, Shellfish and more).

• Food trips with premium suppliers and regular Head Chef forums.

• 20% discount in all Young’s pubs and 30% off overnight stays in Pubs with Rooms.

• Share Save Scheme & Enhanced Company Pension Scheme.

• Free meals on duty & 28 days’ holiday.

• On-site car park for staff, making commuting easier.

What we’re looking for

• A proven leader with experience as a Head Chef or strong Sous Chef ready to step up.

• A hands-on, inspiring manager with a passion for team development.

• Strong organisational and planning skills with a focus on GP, labour, and growth.

• A creative chef with the ability to design and deliver innovative dishes.

• A proactive approach and excellent communication skills.
