Head Chef Designate

About us:

Please be aware this is for a Head Chef role in another Youngs site in the local area, not the New Inn. Tucked away in the loveliness of leafy Ealing, The New Inn is just a hop, skip & jump from South Ealing Tube station and a stones throw from the buzz of Ealing Broadway. We don't like to brag (okay, maybe just a little bit), but we are rather proud of our cracking seasonal menus and drinks list that could charm even the fustiest of sippers. Our garden? She's a bit of a show off herself, bursting with good vibes and sun seekers in the summer and cozily wrapped up come the winter months. Liam our GM has been with Young's for many years and has a strong focus on generous hospitality, quality service and creating unforgettable experiences for our guests - we would love to welcome you in to our tight-knit family and continue to delight our customers. We had a top to toe glow up a few years back, and she's still looking like a proper stunner. So if you're in the area pop in, introduce yourself and see what all the fuss is about!

Being a Head Chef at Young's:

We believe every pub should be different. This means that you'll be writing your own recipes that match the food vision of your business using fresh seasonal ingredients. The food vision could be all about showcasing local produce, country pub classics, seafood, small plates and sharers, dry-aged meat - each pub is different and its up to you as head chef to put your own creative stamp on that vision. We work with fresh, seasonal produce, so the menu should constantly evolve to showcase these fantastic ingredients when they are at their best. Premium fresh food crafted by skilled chefs in Premium Pubs.

• Head Chefs get to have full autonomy to create your own menus and specials
• Access to our Apprenticeship Scheme and Development Programmes
• Access to regular culinary masterclasses covering topics such as Game, Butchery and Shellfish
• Access to inspirational food trips with our top quality suppliers
• Regular Chef Forums with other Head Chefs to inspire and develop
• Free meals

• Share save Scheme
• Enhanced Company Pension Scheme
• 28 Days Holiday per year

What we look for in a Head Chef:

This role requires someone that can inspire a team, to bring out the potential and lead by example whilst being able to develop, cost and produce fresh seasonal menus for the variety of revenue streams within the business.

• Have experience championing excellent service through quality food either as a Head Chef or in the position of Sous Chef
