Imagine being part of an award-winning team where every day feels like a magical culinary adventure. We’re talking 2 AA Rosettes, a Michelin Plate, Sawday’s Best Hotels, Estrella Top 50, and even a nod from the Sunday Times as one of the best pubs around. This is your chance to join a celebrated family of premium pubs with rooms, proudly part of the Upham Inns group. We’re big enough to matter but small enough to stay personal and passionate.

We’re on the hunt for an extraordinary Head Chef—a natural leader with a burning passion for delivering unforgettable dishes. If you love working with the finest raw ingredients, leading a team to greatness, and crafting exceptional culinary moments, we’re ready to welcome you on our exciting journey.

What makes you the perfect fit?

Team Dynamo: From plating masterpieces to tackling the nitty-gritty, you inspire and energise a team that’s ready to tackle it all with a smile.

Number Savvy: You’re a whiz at stock control, managing costs, and reducing waste. With your financial smarts, you’ll not only make your kitchen shine but also unlock fantastic bonus opportunities.

Detail Obsessed: Whether it’s flawless TripAdvisor reviews or sparkling safety standards, you’re all about delivering 5-star experiences from a pristine, safe kitchen.
