An extensive fresh food menu, requiring top talent to deliver top notch, quality food. Sound good? With the full support and guidance from our kitchen teams, we can provide you with all the tools to become an excellent chef. We know our pubs are amongst the best and it\'s only right that the people who work here are too!

Who are Chilled Pubs? It all started back in 2007 when Loren agreed to Richards crazy dream, and they together purchased the Bulls Head in Repton. Fast forward 17 years and they have a thriving pub business. With 7 gorgeous sites, over 500 employees, an industry leading food & drink menu and just to be a bit different, 7 mascot alpacas.
