Description

WE’RE ON THE HUNT FOR A TALENTED AND COMMERCIALLY MINDED HEAD CHEF / KITCHEN MANAGER TO TAKE THE REINS OF A BRAND-NEW KITCHEN IN OXFORDSHIRE, AHEAD OF AN EXCITING CONCEPT LAUNCH THIS AUTUMN.

This isn’t just another pub kitchen - it’s a chance to be part of a full transformation project, introducing a vibrant, family-friendly BBQ & Smokehouse-style menu in a beautifully refurbished Cotswold setting. With an expected 200+ covers and projected weekly food sales of £20k, this is a role for a chef who thrives in high-volume, fast-paced environments while keeping quality at the heart of every plate.

Responsibilities
  • Lead the kitchen through the pre-opening phase, from equipment set-up to team recruitment and training
  • Deliver a spec-led, branded menu with consistency, quality, and speed
  • Build and develop a kitchen brigade, growing from a small core team to 6-7 chefs
  • Manage all back of house operations - rotas, GP targets, stock ordering, and compliance
  • Maintain rigorous hygiene, allergen, and food safety standards
  • Work closely with senior management to hit commercial goals and delight guests
