We are a bold, award-winning business that prides itself on giving our chefs the freedom to create premium, seasonal menus that ‘wow’ our customers within an industry-leading environment. We run friendly, welcoming, and positive kitchens with high standards, always striving to be the best we can be.
We are looking for a Senior Sous Chef to join the family. Located in the heart of picturesque Corsham, Wiltshire, The Methuen Arms is a stunning Georgian coaching inn, offering 19 newly renovated, stylish bedrooms, award-winning food, and delicious Butcombe beer on tap.
Boasting bags of character, this cosy country pub with rooms is set immediately beside the stately home and beautiful grounds of Corsham Court, and just 10 miles from the enchanting city of Bath. The Methuen is the perfect base for exploring Wiltshire and the world-class walking, cycling, and dog-walking opportunities in and around the Cotswolds. Other local attractions include Lacock Abbey and Castle Combe.
Food and drink are at the forefront of everything we do. We’re passionate about local, seasonal, and sustainable produce, sourcing many ingredients from our very own kitchen garden.
We have a range of spaces available for private hire, and in the warmer months, our beer garden is perfect for al fresco drinking and dining.
