Job Description
HEAD CHEF.
CHORLTON. PROPER GASTROPUB. FRESH BRITISH FOOD. CULTURE FIRST.
What you’ll get?
* A £50k package + bonus + additional tronc.
* 45-hour contract – and a genuine shot at a 4-day week.
* Work/life balance – Kitchen is open 12–9pm.
* Big say in the menu, big spotlight on your food.
* Trips abroad, team parties, and genuine respect for chefs.
Who are they?
This 400-year-old pub has had a serious glow-up. New kitchen. Full refit. Open plan pass. Brand new operation. The operator behind one of Manchester’s most acclaimed pubs has taken over and has transformed it into a destination gastropub - with serious ambition (Top 50 Gastropubs kinda ambition).
Pub classics with a twist, weekly changing dishes, killer Sunday roasts (up to 400 covers!), and a menu that’s 60% comfort, 40% show-stopper. British cuisine at its heart, with creative freedom built in.
Who are you?
You're a creative, grounded, and passionate chef who’s ready to step out of the chains and into a kitchen where your ideas matter.
You’ll be:
* Obsessed with flavour, balance, and modern British food
* Confident running a kitchen - leading from the front, not the office
* A voice of your own - humble but opinionated
* Culture-driven - you believe in running a happy, respectful kitchen
* Cool with feedback - you can handle direct comms and give it too
You’ll have a fresh kitchen, freedom to help shape the menu with the Exec Chef, and the support of a company that actually invests in people and tools.
This is a rare role - the kind of place that builds careers, not burns people out.
