Description du poste

Sous Chef –

PUB BIO

We're looking for a Junior Sous Chef who leads by example, sets high standards, and supports the Head Chef and Sous Chef in creating a kitchen where people can thrive. Our food ethos is shaped collaboratively by the kitchen teams across the group, so your role is to help deliver it brilliantly, service after service, while contributing to an environment where people can develop and do their best work.

The food is hearty, honest and rooted in the seasons: handmade pies, proper Sunday roasts and British produce sourced from trusted local suppliers. The craft is in the consistency — delivering quality, every day, without compromise.

Our mission –

At Chickpea, we're reimagining rural hospitality.

That means
bringing well-loved pubs back to life, serving honest food and decent booze,
and creating places where locals, regulars and visitors all feel at home.

We're founder-owned
and seven years in. Today, we run ten pubs across the Southwest, but
the idea hasn't changed much since day one. Great pubs are built by
great people. We trust our people to make decisions, giving them room to grow,
celebrating the good days and backing each other through the chaotic ones too.

The good stuff –

• Flexible
  working patterns and paid overtime.
• Uniform is
  provided and laundered.
• You eat
  from the menu if you work six hours.
• Enjoy 50%
  off food at any of our pubs (Monday-Thursday).
• £100
  voucher on your Birthday to spend at any of our places.
• Each month
  there are rewards and giveaways.
• We
  mark length of service.
• 24/7
  support available for your mental, physical and financial health.
• We host
  the Annual Chickpea Awards Bash, to celebrate our teams.
• Team trips
  and away days.
• Clear
  promotion pathways.
• Training
  programmes built around you.

As Junior Sous Chef, you will:

• Support the Head Chef and Sous Chef in leading the kitchen.


• Help deliver seasonal, locally sourced
  food made from scratch.


• Maintain high food quality and kitchen
  standards.


• Train, mentor, and motivate the team.


• Ensure smooth service and contribute
  ideas to menu development.


• Help create a positive, collaborative
  working environment.
