Are you a talented Sous Chef ready to take the next step in your career?

Join a well-loved country pub-restaurant in the heart of Surrey, set in a friendly market town just outside Windsor and within easy reach of London. The pub is surrounded by independent shops, green spaces, and a strong local community — the kind of place where guests come for a relaxed pint, Sunday roast, or special occasion meal.

  • The kitchen focuses on fresh, seasonal produce, with every dish cooked from scratch.
  • Guests enjoy a menu of well-executed pub classics alongside modern, seasonal specials.
  • The site includes a stylish bar, dining areas, and boutique guest rooms — a real hub for locals and visitors alike.

Role: Sous Chef

You’ll support the Head Chef in leading a team of five, ensuring the kitchen runs smoothly while helping to develop and deliver quality dishes from the core menu and daily specials.

What you will do

  • Support the Head Chef with daily kitchen operations.
  • Lead shifts and manage the team in the Head Chef’s absence.
  • Maintain high standards of consistency, flavour, and presentation.
  • Help plan and create seasonal specials.
  • Manage ordering, stock control, and kitchen hygiene standards.

What we’re looking for

  • A strong Sous Chef or experienced Junior Sous ready to step up.
  • Background in a fresh-food, gastro pub-style kitchen.
  • A team player who leads with calm confidence.
  • A passion for quality cooking and fresh ingredients.

Why you’ll love it

  • Creative input into menus and specials.
  • Supportive management and a genuine team spirit.
  • A friendly working environment where quality matters.
  • A great Surrey location with easy access to London.
  • Opportunities for progression within a growing business.
