If your ambition is to build a career in a long-established, successful family-run business, where guests come first and quality is paramount, come and join us as a Chef.

We treat all our people like part of the family – you’ll be respected, trained, coached, and encouraged to grow in confidence, to achieve more than you thought you were capable of.

So, if you’re as passionate as we are about fresh food and would enjoy helping to create a seriously relaxed country dining experience, with full table service, a classic British menu, and daily specials, then you could be our next Chef at Destination Inns, an important part of the McMullen Family. We can offer you…

• Fantastic training and career development through McMullen’s GROW Programme if you wish to progress
• A step into a progressive company who treat people as a name, not a number
• Full chef uniform
