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!
