Head Chef Vacancy

We are looking for a Head Chef to lead our talented kitchen team!

The historical Bellflower, previously called the XL, was opened in 1930 by Catterall & Swarbrick Brewery and was once in the Guinness Book Of Records for the pub with the shortest name. Today, The Bellflower has been acquired and beautifully refurbished by JW Lees Brewery and has reopened, continuing to be a much-loved family-friendly and dog-friendly pub, serving delicious home-cooked food alongside a range of award-winning beers.

For cask ale lovers, we serve JW Lees Bitter, Manchester Pale Ale, and a variety of seasonal beers throughout the year. We also pour Manchester Craft Lager and Original Lager, perfect in our large beer garden, along with a selection of small-batch Boilerhouse beers, ideal for a relaxing pint by the fire. Our new menu features pub classics including the Brewery Tower Burger and John Willie’s beer-battered fish and chips, alongside seasonal specials. On Sundays, we offer roasts with all the trimmings, bottomless gravy, and unlimited Yorkshire puddings.

What we offer our Head Chefs:

• Annual profit share, ensuring you share in the success of the company
• Realistic bonus potential
• 30% discount on food and drink across our pubs and inns for you and friends and family
• 50% off food when on shift

• Wellbeing support with our Employee Assistance Programme
• Great opportunities to grow in your role and progress your career
• Access to JW BenefitHub, providing a wide range of high street and online discounts

What a Head Chef does at JW Lees:
