Dating back to the 15th century, The Bull’s Head Inn is a Grade II listed building that has preserved the character it’s gained over 550 years. Located in the heart of Beaumaris, just a stone's throw from the World Heritage site Beaumaris Castle, the inn is within easy reach of local attractions, including the beach and boat cruises to Puffin Island.

As Head Chef, you set the standard, bringing your creativity, skill, and dedication to every dish that leaves your team’s hands.
