At Brunning & Price, we run characterful pubs in beautiful locations, serving great food and creating welcoming spaces for our guests. Behind every smooth service and successful team is thoughtful organisation — and increasingly, the right technology to support it.
We’re looking for a talented and practical Mobile Developer to join us on a 1-year fixed-term contract, with the potential to move into a permanent role as our digital capability continues to grow.
This is a full-time position (37.5 hours per week, 5 days per week) with hybrid working available after initially being full-time at the Chester Office.
This isn’t about building a product for market—it's about creating reliable, well-designed internal tools that genuinely make life easier for our pub teams and head office colleagues.
