Job Description:

Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire
Salary: From £34,000 (base salary) + service charge, increasing with experience and level

We’re on the lookout for a skilled and enthusiastic chef—from Chef de Partie up to Junior Sous Chef level—to join our talented kitchen team. Whether you're an experienced CDP ready to step up, or already operating at Junior Sous level, this is a fantastic opportunity to grow within a dynamic and values-driven kitchen.

You’ll take responsibility for your section (and more if you're stepping in at Junior Sous level), ensuring dishes are executed to our exacting standards with consistency and flair. We're passionate about fresh, seasonal produce and conscious food practices—and we’re looking for someone who shares that vision.

Salary & Progression:

Chef de Partie roles start from a base salary of £34,000, plus service charge (average £6,000).

Total package increases with experience and seniority, with higher salaries available for those stepping in at Junior Sous level.

We recognise and reward talent, and offer clear opportunities for progression within the team.

Staff Accommodation:
We offer a range of accommodation options in the local village and in Chipping Norton, with reasonable financial support available for relocation.

Key Responsibilities (vary slightly by level):

Lead your section confidently, preparing dishes in line with our menu specs.

Assist or oversee daily kitchen operations depending on your experience level.

Maintain fresh, organised mise en place (MEP) for each service.

Uphold high kitchen hygiene and health & safety standards.

Support and mentor junior team members.

Contribute to a positive, collaborative kitchen culture.

Help drive our sustainability goals and B Corp mission—making a positive impact on people and the planet.

What We’re Looking For:

A passion for cooking and quality produce.

Experience running a section in a fresh food kitchen.

A calm, focused presence in a busy service.

Strong teamwork and leadership qualities.

An interest in sustainability and ethical sourcing is a bonus.

Junior Sous Chef experience is welcome but not essential—we’re happy to support the right candidate in stepping up.

Staff Discounts: Enjoy immediate discounts on products, dining, and treatments.

Volunteering Days: One paid day per year to support a charity of your choice.

Private Medical: Subsidised Bupa cover available.

Pension Scheme: Employer contribution up to 4.5%.

Life Assurance: One year of salary cover.

Mental Health Support: 24/7 access to support through our Employee Assistance Programme.

If you're a passionate chef ready to progress your career in a kitchen that values people, produce, and purpose—we’d love to hear from you.
