About us:

Derby Arms is in the Forest of Bowland and sits between Longridge and Chipping. One of our smaller hotel sites, it has 6 en-suite hotel rooms, a bar, lounge and snug area, a casual dining restaurant and a covered alfresco dining space.

We are passionate about quality and using the best regional product. Our main menu of British classics changes with the seasons; and our Seafood Specials are created by our talented team of chefs on site, making the most of the catch of the day and best quality seafood available.

We have been recognised with multiple awards including Restaurant Magazine's Food Led Company and the Publican Award's Best Food Offer multiple times.

Recognised as a leading employer, we know that the key to success is the people within the business, and that the first step is recruiting the best people who are just as passionate as us about food, drink, and true hospitality.

As part of a group of six premium pubs with rooms, we're big enough to offer progression and multisite opportunities, but small enough to know all of our teams personally and as individuals, which allows people to develop and excel in their areas of interest.

• You are passionate about food, have impeccable standards, and a great team spirit.
• You will know your way around a kitchen, having worked as a Sous or Junior Sous Chef previously and be ready for your next challenge!
• You have excellent attention to detail.
• You have great communication skills.
• You are ready to support the Head Chef with the running of the Kitchen.
• You are ready to assist the Head Chef with leading and developing the team.
• You are ready to assist the Head Chef with the creation of the specials menu.
