This is an excellent opportunity for a passionate head chef or experienced senior sous, looking for an exciting and challenging role to keep the Ring O'Bells on the map as a foodie destination on the Wirral.
Salary - OTE £51,500 per annum
The Ring O'Bells is a village pub full of character and charm, situated in the 'old village' of West Kirby, a stone's throw from its marine lake and bustling town centre. It has recently undergone a major restoration and has quickly gained a great reputation for it's fresh, interesting seasonal food. Our constantly evolving menu serves a few well-loved classics alongside dishes created by our team of chefs, these dishes tending to be seasonal, and a little more interesting, taking influence from all over. Following our existing Head Chef giving us the heads up that he'll be leaving us soon for personal reasons, we are now seeking a talented and passionate individual to lead our amazing talented team in the kitchen, and take up the reins of the engine room of the pub.
Stange & Co run a carefully selected, well-invested group of pubs and inns in the North West and Wales. We are fourth generation family owned and run, so whilst tradition and heritage are important to us, we are always striving to be at the forefront of where food & hospitality is heading, so we can ensure a bright and well rewarded future for everyone. We fully appreciate it's our people and their talent that have got us to where we are today, and that it will be those teams that will ensure we thrive into the future, so we make sure to go above and beyond in looking after each and every one of them.,
Whilst our plan is to grow strongly, this will be well considered, and opportunity led growth. We're certainly not striving to hit a number at any cost and then sell out to private equity or a big plc. We're in it for the long term.
Due to our size you'll very much be part of the family and not just a number, but thankfully we're big enough to be able to offer the support needed in running busy popular pubs, as and when the need arises.
