Job description

Sous Chef at Bath Brew House

We7re looking for a brilliant Sous Chef to join the kitchen team at Bath Brew House and help us take our food offer to the next level.

With an exciting refresh on the horizon, this is a great opportunity for a Sous Chef who wants to be part of something with real potential. You7ll work closely with our Head Chef to deliver consistently great food, develop the team and help shape an offer that matches the fun, lively energy of Bath Brew House.

Here we celebrate passion, personality and (of course) beer.

About Bath Brew House

Think locals, craft beer lovers, big weekends, buzzing gardens, packed Sunday roasts and plenty of pints.

As we evolve Bath Brew House, food is front and centre. We want to be as well-known for our banging burgers, proper pub classics and legendary Sunday roasts as we are for our beer.

The Food

This is pub food with confidence and comfort at its core.

Think:

• Big, flavour-packed burgers
• Proper pub classics with a Brew House twist
• Picky plates and sharers for mates and matchdays
• Food that works perfectly with a pint in hand
• Proper Sunday roasts all year round, from classic plates to generous feasting boards

And given that we have an actual brewery a few metres away, we7re always up for finding new ways to get beer involved too.

The Role

As Sous Chef, you7ll be the Head Chef7s right hand and a key part of leading our kitchen day to day.

You7ll help us:

• Deliver consistently brilliant food, even when the kitchen is flying
• Lead, motivate and develop the kitchen team
• Maintain high standards of food safety, cleanliness and organisation
• Support with ordering, stock control and managing GP
• Bring ideas and creativity to specials and menu development
• Keep standards high across both our main kitchen and garden burger shack
• Step up and confidently run the kitchen when the Head Chef isn7t there
• Build a kitchen culture that people genuinely enjoy being part of

This isn7t a role where we want someone to simply turn up, cook and go home. We want someone who cares about the food leaving the pass, backs their team and wants to have an impact on what we7re building.

About You

You might already be a Sous Chef looking for your next challenge, or a strong Junior Sous/Chef de Partie ready to make the step up.

More importantly, you:

• Love cooking with fresh ingredients
• Thrive in a busy, high-volume pub kitchen
• Take pride in sending out great food every time
• Stay calm when the tickets start rolling in
• Enjoy helping other chefs develop
• Understand the importance of GP, stock and kitchen controls
• Aren7t afraid to bring your own ideas to the table
• Want to work somewhere with personality rather than somewhere that takes itself too seriously

Why Join Us

• A key role in an exciting new chapter for Bath Brew House
• The opportunity to work closely with the Head Chef and influence the food offer
• A supportive pub group with genuine opportunities to progress
• The chance to work alongside an on-site brewery (there aren7t many kitchens that can say that)
• A busy, energetic pub with loads of personality and potential
• A role where you can develop your leadership skills and take the next step in your kitchen career

If you7re a Sous Chef who loves proper pub food, enjoys the buzz of a busy service and wants to help build something we can all be proud of, we7d love to hear from you.
