Not Your Average Chef de Partie Role.

At THE PIG, we don't believe in standing still. Our menus evolve daily, inspired by what's growing in our Kitchen Gardens, what's in season, and what's being delivered by our incredible network of local suppliers, all within a 25-mile radius.

As a Chef de Partie, you'll be part of a kitchen where creativity, sustainability and exceptional food come together. This is an opportunity to cook with outstanding ingredients, learn from passionate chefs, and help shape memorable dining experiences for every guest who walks through our doors.

A Kitchen That Does Things Differently

Our kitchens are energetic, fast-paced and full of people who genuinely love what they do.

You'll find yourself talking with gardeners about tomorrow's harvest, discussing seasonal produce with local farmers, selecting cuts with butchers, and working closely with fishmongers to make the most of the freshest catch.

If you're passionate about provenance, seasonality and great food, you'll feel right at home here.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Chef de Partie, you'll take ownership of one of our four kitchen sections, playing a key role in delivering exceptional dishes and supporting the wider brigade.

You’ll:

• Run and manage your own section with confidence
• Support and develop junior chefs within the team
• Work across different sections to broaden your experience
• Help maintain high standards of food quality and presentation
• Contribute ideas, creativity and passion to menu development
• Play an active role in mentoring our apprentice chefs

Inspire the Next Generation

Think back to the chef who first inspired you. The one who took the time to teach, encourage and challenge you.

At THE PIG, you'll have the opportunity to be that person for someone else.

We’re proud of our award-winning apprenticeship programme, and as a Chef de Partie you’ll play a vital role in coaching, developing and inspiring the future talent of our kitchens.

What We're Looking For

We're searching for chefs who bring:

• Previous experience as a Chef de Partie or Demi Chef de Partie
• Strong technical cooking skills
• A genuine passion for seasonal, locally sourced food
• Confidence leading a section
• A positive attitude and team-focused approach
• The desire to learn, develop and inspire others

Bring the enthusiasm, your knives and a bucketful of passion. We'll help you build the rest.

• Paid overtime
• Straight shifts
• Rotas published three weeks in advance, helping you plan life outside work
• Free staff stays with Bed & Breakfast
• 35% discount on food, drinks and treatments across the group
• Meals provided whilst on duty
