North Ipswich | £28k–£38k + Tips + Bonus Scheme | Full-Time
Own transport essential!
We’re not just looking for a chef — we’re looking for a game-changer. Someone to join our team.
The Brook Inn is a well-established, family-run pub with a strong local following and a high-end reputation for food and drink. We’ve recently said goodbye to one of our long-standing team members (after 7 years!), and now we’re ready to welcome a new star to help us raise the bar even further.
This is a full-time opportunity for an experienced Sous Chef or strong CDP ready to step up. We want someone who can take ownership, push standards, and bring ideas to the table.

The Role:

• Working closely with our Head Chef on prep, service, and kitchen operations
• Assisting with menu development and creativity
• Ensuring effective stock control and accurate GP/costings
• Upholding food hygiene and kitchen discipline
• Coaching junior chefs and leading by example

What You’ll Get:

• £28,000–£38,000 salary (depending on experience)
• Equal share of tips + structured bonus scheme
• Full-time rota – one Sunday off per month (off-peak)
• A supportive team in a low-drama, low stress, high-standard kitchen
• Real opportunity to progress within the business
• A work environment where you’re listened to and valued

Must-Haves:

• Previous experience in a similar role
• Driving licence + own transport (we’re out of town)
• References – and yes, we do check them
• An honest, energetic attitude
• A genuine love of food and people

Tell us about any existing commitments or holidays. We plan fairly – it helps to know early on.
