Imagine being part of an award-winning team where every day feels like a magical culinary adventure.

This is your chance to join a celebrated family of premium pubs with rooms, proudly part of the Upham Inns group. We're big enough to matter but small enough to stay personal and passionate. We're on the hunt for an extraordinary Head Chef-a natural leader with a burning passion for delivering unforgettable dishes.

Number Savvy: You're a whiz at stock control, managing costs, and reducing waste. With your financial smarts, you'll not only make your kitchen shine but also unlock fantastic bonus opportunities. Detail Obsessed: Whether it's flawless TripAdvisor reviews or sparkling safety standards, you're all about delivering 5-star experiences from a pristine, safe kitchen. A Born Leader: Recruiting top talent, offering inspiring training, and working hand-in-hand with our Executive Chef to nurture future stars are second nature to you.
Our company is big enough to support you but small enough to care about your individual needs. We are a friendly, hands-on team who have a passion for running great pubs. We are always on the lookout for like-minded people who have the desire to work and grow with us.
