Job description

We are a bold, award-winning business that prides ourselves on giving our chefs the freedom to create premium, seasonal menus that ‘wow’ our customers within an industry-leading environment. We operate friendly, welcoming, and positive kitchens with high standards, always striving to be the best we can be.

We are looking for a Chef de Partie to join the family.

Located in Rowberrow on the edge of the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, The Swan is a 17th-century Grade II-listed pub and inn, full of history and a cozy, welcoming vibe.

A haven for locals, walkers, cyclists, and visitors, the pub features five boutique bedrooms above the pub and four dog-friendly rooms in its converted barns, making it an ideal rural retreat or staycation destination.

We’re passionate about great food and drink, offering seasonal local produce, pub classics, flatbread pizza, and award-winning Butcombe beer. In warmer months, our large beer garden is perfect for al fresco dining or enjoying sunshine with a few pints.

Located just 7 miles from Bristol airport and 15 miles from Bristol Temple Meads station, The Swan is a perfect base for exploring Bristol, Somerset, and nearby attractions such as Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole Caves, Glastonbury Tor, and Ashton Gate Stadium.

What’s in it for you?

• The opportunity to work for an award-winning business and cook some of the best, most innovative pub food, recognized with awards for Best Food Offer (2019 & 2020) and Best Managed Pub Company (2021).
• Access to Liberation Life, a platform for earning cashback with major retailers and saving on holidays, groceries, gifts, and more.
• The chance to gain diverse experience in various kitchens and menus within our eclectic company.
• A competitive hourly rate plus an equal share of tips, paid for the hours worked.
• Industry-leading training and development through our ‘Pillars of Progression’ programme and HIT apprenticeship schemes.
• Support and coaching from our executive chef team and talented kitchen staff.
• Working with locally sourced produce and ingredients.
• Investment in our kitchens and tools to help you excel.
• Team events, parties, training courses, supplier collaborations, and rewards, including 75% off food on shift.
• A caring employer committed to mental health awareness, supporting initiatives like the Burnt Chef Project, and offering an Employee Assistance Program available 24/7.
