Job description

No CV to hand? No problem! We've made our application process mobile friendly and removed the need for a CV. Our form takes 2 minutes to complete and tells us all we need about you!

As a Sous Chef at the Crown, you will have a passion for serving great food, training great people, and leaving a smile on our guests' faces. You’ll run a section, ensuring your team works together as one, and you will be the person to step up in leading the team in the absence of the Head Chef. Does this sound like you?

Join us at Vintage Inns, a charming collection of rural pubs. You’ll find roaring log fires, traditional food, and a cozy atmosphere. If you want to be part of the Inn crowd, we want to hear from you.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME?

• Flexible shifts to work around your lifestyle!
• A massive 33% discount across all our brands. Whether it's date night at Miller & Carter or a family roast at Toby Carvery, we’ve got you covered.
• 20% discount off all of our brands for friends and family.
• Wagestream – a financial toolkit that helps you manage your finances and allows you to access your earned pay when you need it.
• Opportunities to grow with paid-for qualifications.
• Opportunity for progression; on average 200 Chefs are promoted to Head Chef every year.
• Discounts on gym memberships.
• Team Socials – work hard, play hard!

On top of this, as part of Mitchells & Butlers, you will receive a pension; 28 days paid holiday; high-street shopping discounts; and we even give you free shares! There's also a free employee helpline to support you with whatever life throws at you.

WHAT WILL I BE DOING? AS SOUS CHEF YOU’LL…

• Be driven to smash targets with your team.
• Train and inspire your team to deliver food to be proud of.
• Support your Head Chef with food ordering, food preparation, and stock control.
• Have mastered the art of working with a branded menu.
• Have confidence in managing Chefs and the wider Kitchen Team.
• Oversee that your team conforms to health and hygiene regulations.
