Sous Chef

Sous Chef - Live Out

Full-Time

Salary: Competitive Salary + Tronc + Great Benefits

About Us

The Teller’s Arms is proudly positioned on Farnham’s vibrant Castle Street. Historically trading as a bank—which inspired our unique name—we have thoughtfully transformed this stunning building into a glorious, design-led premium pub. Featuring 9 boutique bedrooms, a bookable semi-private space, and a breath-taking rooftop terrace, we strive to be the ultimate "go-to" destination in Farnham, delivering everything from casual local pints and hearty Sunday roasts with double-egg Yorkies to seasonal dinner plates crafted from the finest British-sourced ingredients. We run a well kitted out, high-energy kitchen fuelled by fresh food, culinary creativity, and a relentless passion for excellence.

The Role

As our Sous Chef, you will be the anchor of the kitchen and the Head Chef’s trusted second-in-command. You’ll step into a well structured, premium operation where you’ll help lead, inspire, and develop a reliable brigade of chefs.

Whether you’re running a seamless service on a bustling Saturday night, executing seasonal daily specials, mentoring junior team members, or helping manage kitchen financials, your passion for fresh food will be central to everything we do. Crucially, this is a kitchen that values growth: the majority of our Head Chef appointments are made internally, meaning this role is designed to be a direct stepping stone to running your own kitchen.

What We Look For in a Sous Chef

We are looking for an established Senior CDP ready to take the leap, or an experienced Sous Chef with a sharp eye for quality, a calm head under pressure, and a natural flair for fresh, seasonal cookery.

As the successful Sous Chef, you will:

• Have proven experience working with fresh, quality ingredients in a fast-paced, high-volume kitchen environment.

• Be an active, hands-on leader who loves training, mentoring, and bringing out the best in junior chefs.

• Work collaboratively with the Head Chef to write, design, and launch innovative menus and daily seasonal specials.

• Demonstrate a solid understanding of kitchen management controls—assisting with GP targets, stock ordering, waste management, and labor efficiency.

• Maintain uncompromised standards of food safety, hygiene, and allergen management.

• Bring a proactive, team-focused attitude that bridges the kitchen and front-of-house teams seamlessly.

What We Offer Our Sous Chefs

• Pay & Reward: Competitive salary paid weekly/monthly, supported by a fair tronc system.

• Career Progression: Clear, structured pathways to Head Chef (the majority of our Head Chef roles are filled internally!).

• Skills & Development: Exclusive access to internal Culinary Masterclasses and fully-funded Apprenticeship Schemes to sharpen your craft.

• Discounts: 20% discount across all Young’s pubs and a massive 30% discount on overnight stays in our stunning Pubs with Rooms.

• Perks: Free meals on shift, 28 days holiday per year, a Share Save Scheme, and a robust Company Pension Scheme.

If you’re a ambitious culinary professional looking to make your mark in a historic, design-led premium venue, apply today to join the team at The Teller’s Arms!
