WE’RE LOOKING FOR A SENIOR SOUS CHEF!
We’re looking for an experienced chef to join us at The Olive Tree, Sutton Green as second-in-command to our Head Chef, Alex.
We’re an independent, food led country pub. We cook proper fresh food from scratch, have a busy and loyal customer base and, perhaps just as importantly, a kitchen that isn’t run on shouting, egos and chaos.
We’re looking for someone who:
→ Has a strong fresh-food/pub background
→ Can confidently run the kitchen in Alex’s absence
→ Stays calm when the tickets start flying
→ Takes pride in doing things properly
→ Wants to be part of a team, not rule over one
→ Would rather cook something than open a packet!
£32,000–£36,000 depending on experience
Plus £3,000–£5,000 typical annual tips
This is a genuine senior role with real input into menus, specials and how the kitchen operates.
You’ll work hard (we’re a busy pub!) but you’ll be supported, respected and part of a team that genuinely backs each other.
If you’re looking for your next move, or you know a great chef who might be, please get in touch or share this post.
Send us your CV or just a few lines about yourself. We’re far more interested in finding the right person than the perfect piece of paper.
