Smoking Goat is an open fire Thai Barbecue restaurant and bar. We cook food influenced by the street food of Bangkok through to the laab stalls of northern Thailand.

We have a focus on interesting beers on tap & sharing bottles, natural wines, and an ever-growing collection of vinyl records.
We welcome applicants from those looking to develop and be inspired. Experience in Thai cuisine is not essential but a desire to learn and be part of a strong team-focussed restaurant is expected.
We are looking for an experienced Sous Chef to join our team, working in a friendly, fast paced environment where research, creativity and new ideas are encouraged from everyone. New dishes are briefed daily and each service we focus on a different wine. The team benefits from visits to our suppliers in Cornwall and Somerset and research trips around the regions of Thailand.

• Will have a strong a passion for produce and suppliers
• Have experience in a similar restaurant environment and be confident in supporting the development needs of the team.

As we grow our belief that restaurants can be better connected to farming and the seasons means that what is on the plate and in the glass remains the focus of what we do. Our restaurants are driven by our belief that we can serve beautiful produce in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
