We believe that talented chefs are essential to a successful kitchen. In this role, you'll work as part of a friendly and supportive team to deliver outstanding dining experiences to our customers.

Although Shepherd Neame is Britain’s oldest brewer, our approach is modern and dynamic. We value qualities such as:

• Working Together
• Pride and Passion
