Job description

We are a bold, award-winning business that prides itself on giving our chefs the freedom to create premium, seasonal menus that ‘wow’ our customers within an industry-leading environment. We run 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.

The Prince Of Burford is a recently refurbished pub and hotel converted from an 18th-century coaching inn, located in beautiful Burford on the north-eastern edge of the Cotswolds.

We have 16 stunning ensuite rooms, with dog-friendly and family-friendly options available, offering an ideal base for exploring the Cotswolds AONB, Oxfordshire countryside, and historic Oxford.

Our menu focuses on locally sourced seasonal dishes and exciting takes on pub classics, complemented by a selection of award-winning Butcombe beers, cocktails, and wines.

Inside, you’ll find cosy interiors and rustic pub charm with original features throughout, along with relaxed dining spaces suitable for both intimate meals and larger gatherings.

We are very dog-friendly and child-friendly, with a sunny beer garden featuring grassy and decked areas—perfect for al fresco drinking and dining.

If you’re planning a special occasion or event, our private dining room is ideal for birthdays, wedding receptions, business meetings, and conferences.

Located at the entrance to the Cotswolds, we’re a perfect base for a weekend break or staycation, close to attractions like Cotswold Wildlife Park & Gardens, Cotswolds Distillery, Cotswold Water Park, Blenheim Palace, Crocodiles Of The World, and Burford Garden Company, as well as Cheltenham, Oxford, Cirencester, and Bourton-on-the-Water.

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 — an incredible platform where you can earn cashback with major retailers, save money on holidays, groceries, gifts, and more!
• The opportunity to work in a diverse, eclectic company and gain experience in various kitchens and menus, with the aim of maximizing your skills and knowledge.
• A competitive hourly rate plus an equal share of tips. You will be paid for all hours worked.
• Access to industry-leading training and development through our ‘Pillars of Progression’ programme.
• 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.
• We provide the tools necessary to do a great job, with significant investment in our kitchens.
• Enjoy team parties, events, training courses, and industry rewards, including discounts and 50% off food on shift.
• We care about our team. We are ambassadors for the Burnt Chef Project, supporting mental health initiatives, and offer a 24/7 Employee Assistance Program for support.
