Summary

Sous Chef –Countryside Hotel | WA1
£33,000 – £35,000 + tips/bonus
40–45 hours | 5 days out of 7
Must drive (rural location)

We’re working with a 4-star countryside hotel looking for an experienced Sous Chef to join a small, close-knit kitchen team.
This is a hands-on role in a supportive environment where consistency, teamwork, and pride in food really matter — not a high-pressure, ego-driven brigade.

What you’ll be doing
• Preparing and cooking fresh dishes to order across service
• Supporting day-to-day kitchen operations alongside the Head Chef
• Maintaining consistent food quality and presentation standards
• Stepping into quieter shifts with autonomy when needed
• Working collaboratively as part of a small, reliable team
• Keeping standards high across food safety, cleanliness and organisation

What we’re looking for
• Experience as a Sous Chef or strong CDP ready to step up
• Background in a fresh food / hotel / restaurant kitchen
• Comfortable working independently during quieter shifts
• Reliable, consistent and a strong team player
• Calm under pressure with a practical, hands-on approach

What’s on offer
• £33–35k + monthly tips/bonus
• Free staff meals on shift
• Discounted food, drink and hotel stays across the group
• Supportive, friendly kitchen culture (small team, no egos)
• Training and development opportunities
• Flexible working patterns where possible
• Genuine focus on work-life balance for hospitality

This is a great fit for someone who wants stability, a strong team environment, and a role where you’re valued as a core part of the kitchen — not just another number.
