Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

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 our team.

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, rich in history and a cozy, welcoming vibe.

It is a haven for locals, walkers, cyclists, and visitors alike. The recent addition of five boutique bedrooms above the pub, along with four dog-friendly rooms in converted barns (one accessible), makes The Swan an ideal spot for a rural retreat, family break, or staycation.

We are passionate about great food and drink, offering all-day menus focused on seasonal local produce, pub classics, flatbread pizzas, and award-winning Butcombe beer on tap.

In warmer months, our large beer garden is perfect for al fresco dining or enjoying some sunshine with a pint.

Located just 7 miles from Bristol Airport and 15 miles from Bristol Temple Meads train station, The Swan is an excellent base for exploring Bristol, Somerset, and the Mendip region’s walking, cycling, and dog-walking opportunities. Local attractions include Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole Caves, Glastonbury Tor, and Ashton Gate Stadium.

What’s in it for you?

• The chance to work for an award-winning business and cook some of the best, most innovative pub food in the industry. We have won the Best Food Offer (2019 & 2020) and Best Managed Pub Company (2021) at The UK Publican Awards.
• Access to Liberation Life, a platform where you can earn cashback with major retailers, save on holidays, groceries, gifts, and more.
• The opportunity to work for a diverse, eclectic company and gain experience in various kitchens and menus, enhancing your skills.
• A competitive hourly rate plus an equal share of tips. You are paid for the hours you work.
• Access to industry-leading training and development through our ‘Pillars of Progression’ program.
• Partnership with HIT training for industry-leading apprenticeship schemes.
• Additional support and coaching from our executive chef team and talented kitchen staff.
• Work with some of the best locally sourced produce and ingredients.
• Supportive tools and significant investment in our kitchens to help you excel.
• The energy of team parties, events, training courses, excellent suppliers, and industry-leading rewards, discounts, and benefits (including 75% off food on shift).
• A caring business committed to your wellbeing. We are ambassadors for the Burnt Chef Project, fighting mental health stigma, and offer a 24/7 Employee Assistance Program for support.
