Carriages Restaurant - created by the founder of allpay - is Herefordshire's home of fine dining, known for imaginative seasonal menus and an elegant setting. Last year we expanded with The Sidings at Carriages: a brunch cafe and farm shop set inside two beautifully converted train carriages.

Now we are growing again - and we are looking for a Commis Chef and Sous Chef to come on board and help us bring this exciting new concept to life.

Working 37.5 hours per week Thursday to Sunday, which offers the perfect work life balance. On top of your salary, you will get a share of the tips.
