Job description

Are you an experienced Head Chef who thrives on variety, enjoys being challenged and has the confidence to walk into a kitchen and make a positive difference?
We're looking for a talented and adaptable Roving Head Chef to join the Brunning & Price family.
This is a senior chef role for someone who is ready to take their experience to the next level. You'll be an important part of our wider kitchen operation, providing support, leadership and expertise to our Head Chefs across the business.
Rather than having one kitchen to call your own, you'll have the opportunity to work across a variety of our beautiful pubs, supporting teams when they need you most, helping maintain our high standards and bringing fresh ideas and energy wherever you go. The role will cover 11 pubs, from Manchester, Wirral, to Clitheroe, Preston, Kirkby Lonsdale and Harrogate to name a few. From time to time the position will involve working away from home but we'll always be flexible where we can.
As a Roving Head Chef, you'll be trusted to step into different kitchens and quickly understand what they need.
You might be supporting a pub through a particularly busy period, covering an absence or vacancy, or simply providing additional support when it's needed.
This role would suit an experienced Senior Sous or Head Chef who loves variety and doesn't want to be tied to the same kitchen every day. Perhaps you're already a successful Head Chef and you're looking for something different.
Most importantly, you'll be someone our Exec Chef and kitchen teams can rely on.
We want our Roving Head Chef to be the person a Head Chef is pleased to see walking through the kitchen door - someone who brings experience, support, ideas, reassurance and positivity.
You'll be joining a business that puts great food, great pubs and great people at the heart of what we do.
There's plenty in it for you:
Your Bread and Butter

• Basic up to £40,000, plus tronc (that's your card tips that are paid into your bank)
• £3000 car allowance, plus mileage
• Paid overtime
• Great cash tips

The Extras

• We know you work hard so we feed you well - free meals on shift, choose from the menu!
• 30% discount for you, your friends and family across B&P and our group including wagamama
• It's never too early to start saving for the future with a NEST pension
• Great discounts via Perks on Tap saving you money on everyday purchases and more
• £1,000 referral bonus for introducing new Managers or Chefs to the company
• Stream - use flexible pay to choose when to get paid

Your Wellbeing - it's important to us

• Free 24-hour confidential helpline for you and your immediate family
• Bespoke wellbeing support offering free counselling for all crew
• Discounted gym membership
• Plenty of social get togethers - it's not all work and no play
• Recognition platform with regular thank yous
