Could you be the most important person in our kitchen?

Join us as a kitchen assistant, and you’ll keep the wheels turning in our busy kitchen. You’ll keep it clean and safe, protecting the space so the chefs can create spectacular dishes.

Kitchen life is hard work, but it’s also a lot of fun.

The team spirit is brilliant and there’s real pride in helping create something special for customers.

This is also a great way to learn about premium catering.

Upham is a business where kitchen assistants can go on to become chefs or even general managers – and given our passion for fresh ingredients, there are few better places to learn the food business.

If you’ve never worked in a professional kitchen before, don’t worry. Comprehensive training will be provided.

What do we do?

We own a collection of beautiful, individual premium pubs across Southern England. Our pubs sit in idyllic country villages and towns, serving high quality fresh pub food in a cozy ambience. We also have charming bedrooms. New to our growing family is Harper’s Steakhouse, a premium American Steakhouse brand we started rolling out last year.

It’s an exciting time to join us!

Upham Inns is growing, and we want you to grow with us and be part of our success. We’ve been investing in our business and seeing great results. So we continue to grow our pub family and are looking to recruit passionate people into our team.

We are looking for great people to join us

Our company is big enough to support you but small enough to care about your individual needs. We are a friendly, hands‑on team with a passion for running great pubs. We are always on the lookout for like‑minded people who want to work and grow with us.
