From Sun-Soaked Summers to Fireside Winters – We’re Looking for a Sous Chef Ready to Step Up and Make a Difference

When the sun’s out, our huge garden is packed — full of energy, fast-paced service, and flavour-packed plates. In winter, the tempo shifts: it’s all about roaring fires, comforting dishes, and warm, welcoming service. We’re looking for a confident Sous Chef who can thrive in both seasons and help drive our kitchen forward.

You’ll be working closely with Trevor, our experienced and passionate Head Chef , to lead the team, develop exciting dishes, and deliver consistently high standards. This is a great opportunity to learn, grow, and step into more responsibility — whether you’re already a Sous Chef or a strong Junior Sous ready for that next challenge.

What’s On Your Plate:

Support: Be the Head Chef’s right hand — running the pass, guiding the team, and keeping cool under pressure.

Standards: Ensure every plate that leaves the kitchen is something to be proud of.

Passion: Bring creativity to specials and energy to service — with a real love of seasonal, quality ingredients.

Leadership: Help train, mentor, and inspire the brigade — nurturing talent and maintaining team morale.

Focus: Take ownership of kitchen operations in the Head Chef’s absence — from stock to safety to service.

What We Offer Our Sous Chefs:

Birthdays off

Access to our Apprenticeship Scheme and Development Programmes

Access to regular culinary masterclasses (Game, Butchery, Shellfish, and more)

Inspirational food trips with our top-quality suppliers

Regular Chef Forums with peers across the business

Free meals

20% discount in all Young’s pubs and hotels

Share Save Scheme

Enhanced Company Pension Scheme

28 Days Holiday per year

What We’re Looking For in a Sous Chef:

Experience as a Sous Chef or a strong Junior Sous ready to step up

A passion for fresh food and high standards, even when it’s busy

A calm and confident leader who can support and motivate the team

Someone with a creative streak and a desire to contribute to menu development

A hands-on operator who understands the balance between food quality, safety, and hitting your numbers

Organised, reliable, and ambitious – with a desire to grow into a Head Chef role down the line
