Fabulous Lulworth Cove Inn

Part of the Hall & Woodhouse family of incredible destination inns and set in the Natural World Heritage Site of Lulworth Cove on the Jurassic Coast, the Lulworth Cove Inn is a stunning example of a friendly, quality English pub that we all know and love. Almost 400 years old, the inn was originally a mail stagecoach stop on the road from Wareham to get fresh horses and drop off mail for Lulworth Villagers, later it was a haven for the smugglers who brought ashore French lace, brandy and other contraband to sell to the good citizens of Lulworth. Today you're guaranteed a warm welcome, we're family and dog friendly as any great pub should be with a beautiful terrace, wood burners and great food.

We're growing our kitchen team and looking for an experienced CDP, Section Chef or Line Chef to jump in and help us keep the good stuff coming. If you love great food, enjoy a buzzing service, and want to work with a genuinely supportive crew, this could be your next spot.

What you'll get:

• A proper work-life balance: 5 days on, 2 days off
• 14.00 per hour
• A share of tips + extra rewards for standout performance
• Reliable hours with permanent or seasonal contracts
• A full benefits package in a business that puts sustainability first
• 60% off meals on shift, plus free uniform and kitchen shoes
• Loads of training and development opportunities - we're a Sunday Times Best Places to Work company
• Pathway to a Level 3 Production Chef apprenticeship (if you meet the entry criteria)
• Optional live in accommodation at 77.70 per week (depending on availability)
• A warm welcome and a team that always has your back

You'll fit right in if you're:

• A hands on Chef de Partie who really cares about what you do
• Confident running a section and nailing consistency and presentation
• Happy working to spec's with no variations allowed
• Trained in food safety, hygiene, and allergen procedures
• A team player who likes supporting others and keeping the vibe positive
• Someone who thrives when service gets busy
• On top of compliance and committed to doing things the right way
