Due to a number of internal promotions and growth of the business, we are looking for a Roving Chef, ideally based in the Cheshire area to support our existing pubs and new pub openings. From time to time these positions involve working away from home but we’ll always be flexible where we can.

What’s in it for you as our Roving Chef?

  • Package
  • Salary up to £32,000 plus tronc (That's card tips paid in to your bank)
  • £3000 car allowance, plus mileage
  • Paid overtime on a 48-hour contract
  • Plus great cash tips

About you…

We’re looking for experienced chefs who, as well as having excellent cooking skills, have a passion for innovation and fresh food, a good head for business and will be used to slotting in with existing teams to support them in achieving their goals.

You may have experience as a Sous Chef, Line Cook, Chef, or have specialised in pastry, however all-round kitchen experience in the hospitality sector within a similar, premium fresh food environment is essential.

For us, it’s all about consistently serving exciting, high quality fresh food in a busy and high volume environment and so you’ll need to have the ability to multi task, plan ahead and keep a cool head.

This role provides excellent opportunities for you to develop a rewarding career. Many of our previous ‘rovers’ are now Head Chefs managing their own kitchens across many of our pubs throughout the group.

About us...

  • A family of 70 plus pubs spanning from the lake district to the south coast.
  • Genuine concern for the happiness and wellbeing of all our crew and customers alike.
  • A company that nurtures ambition and skills and presents opportunities for those who would like to grab them.
  • A company with a conscience, keeping an eye on our Carbon Footprint and championing ways to be greener.
  • A fair, inclusive family, treating everyone within as equals.
  • Custodians of the best of standards in everything that we do.
  • Basically, just a jolly nice place to work!
