Job description

Full-Time | Fresh Food | Great Culture | Near Bath & Bristol

I'm working on behalf of a long-standing, independent pub with rooms in North Somerset . They've been in the game for over 45 years and have built something special - this isn't a chain or branded role. It's a kitchen where chefs are trusted, the food is fresh, and the team genuinely care about each other.

What's on Offer:

* £34,000 - £38,000 depending on experience

* Approx. 45 hours/week over 5 days (2 days off together where possible)

* Equal share of tips

* Menu freedom - input your own ideas and dishes

* Fresh local produce in a well-equipped kitchen

* Long-term job security in a stable business

* Staff discount card (after 3 months)

* Nest pension & holiday entitlement

* Parking on-site

About the Role:

* Ideal for a strong Senior CDP or Junior Sous looking for a step up

* You'll work alongside a well-established team with years of knowledge

* You'll help deliver pub classics as well as seasonal dishes with flair

* Basic kitchen management (stock, hygiene, etc.) and leading on service when needed

* Must be a team player with a sense of humour - culture fit matters just as much as skill

What You'll Need:

* Own transport - remote location, no reliable public transport

* Comfortable working split shifts (10am-3pm & 5:30pm-9pm)

* Willingness to be hands-on and help where needed

* Experience in a busy fresh food kitchen

Straight shifts may be considered later for the right candidate once you've settled in.
