Head Chef – Acclaimed Country Dining Pub – Suffolk

We’re looking for a talented Head Chef to lead the kitchen at a much-loved countryside pub in a beautiful part of Suffolk – a destination known for its welcoming atmosphere, quality modern British food and dedication to fresh, seasonal produce.

 

Please note: We are unable to offer sponsorship for this role and candidates must have the right to work in the UK without visa sponsorship. If you require Sponsorship please do not apply, thank you.

 

This is an exciting opportunity to take creative control of a respected food-led pub, shaping menus that celebrate local suppliers and classic flavours with a refined, modern edge.

 

The property has recently been refurbished to an excellent standard throughout and you will be working in a hi-spec kitchen.

 

Benefits:

 

  • Temporary accommodation available if required
  • Christmas Day off
  • Working in a beautiful location
  • Leading a talented team
  • Working with excellent local ingredients

 

You’ll have the scope to put your stamp on the food while maintaining the high standards and strong reputation the venue already enjoys.

 

This role would suit a proven Head Chef or an ambitious Senior Sous ready to step up, bringing energy, leadership and a love for honest, flavour-driven cooking.

 

As Head Chef you will:

 

  • Be responsible for overseeing all aspects of the kitchen and you will be managing and motivating a professional brigade, ensuring that ongoing training and development is offered to all members of the team
  • Have solid man management and kitchen management skills along with a stable background
  • Be a creative and talented Chef with exceptionally high standards who can lead their team by example and inspire them
  • Have the passion and ability to maintain an exceptional standard of cuisine and the right candidate will ideally be experienced in good fresh food kitchens

 

If you are a proven Head Chef looking for new challenges or a Sous Chef looking to take a step up in an exciting and gorgeous environment, this could be the role for you!

 

Due to the number of applicants received, unfortunately we are unable to reply individually to each. Should your application be suitable for the role, then you’ll hear from us within 48 hours, thank you.
