Vacant job

We at Churchill Arms are now looking for an independent & driven head chef/cook for our kitchen.

This is a full-time position for someone who wants to take responsibility, develop menus & work in a lively pub environment with a fast pace & lots of personality.

We are a well-established pub & gastropub that has been around for over 13 years, with high turnover, many guests & a large proportion of regulars. Our kitchen is a central part of the experience & we want to continue to develop the food with rotating dishes, quality & a clear pub feel.

As you will often be alone in the kitchen, the role requires you to be self-sufficient, confident in decision-making & comfortable with responsibility. You need to enjoy the pace, the pub environment & working closely with guests & colleagues.

As a head chef with us, you are fully responsible for the kitchen – from planning to service. We are a small team of 10 employees in the entire operation, of which two are in the kitchen. The job requires a lot of independent work, but also the opportunity to put your own stamp on it.

You mainly work evenings during service (approx. 3:00 PM – 10:00 PM weekdays) and weekends when we are open. In addition to service, you set your own schedule for prep, planning, purchasing & menu work. The position corresponds to 180 hours per month.

Responsibilities:

Plan, develop & update menus (preferably rotating menu items)

Be responsible for purchasing, ingredients & inventory

Work operationally in the kitchen during evening service

Ensure good order, structure & hygiene

Be responsible for the kitchen during your shifts

Contribute to smooth cooperation between kitchen & service
