Are you an experienced Head Chef looking for your next opportunity in a beautiful Pub Restaurant countryside location?
We're looking for a passionate, hands-on chef to lead a friendly and enthusiastic kitchen brigade of four chefs, delivering consistently high-quality food in a well-established country inn.
What's on Offer
* Salary: £40,000 per year
* FREE live-in accommodation – your own private self-contained flat including:
* Spacious lounge
* Double bedroom
* Bathroom
* Kitchen
* Work alongside an enthusiastic team of four chefs
* Fresh, locally sourced ingredients
* Creative input into seasonal menus and specials
* Excellent work-life balance in a stunning rural setting
Please note: Due to our rural location, a full UK driving licence and your own transport are highly desirable.
The Role
You'll take full responsibility for the day-to-day running of the kitchen, leading by example while maintaining high standards of food quality, cleanliness and consistency.
This is a fantastic opportunity for a Head Chef or an experienced Sous Chef ready to step up to make a real impact on a supportive, motivated team.

You'll have the opportunity to help shape menus, introduce new ideas and continue building a reputation for excellent food and warm hospitality.
The Lifestyle
Set in spectacular countryside, this is an opportunity to enjoy a slower pace of life while working in an established and respected business. Surrounded by stunning scenery, walking routes and outdoor pursuits, it's an ideal role for someone looking to combine a rewarding career with an exceptional place to live.
If you're ready for your next challenge and want to lead a dedicated kitchen team while enjoying free private accommodation, we'd love to hear from you
