Job Description
Chef, Premium Pub - Live in available + Tips + 60% off meals
Riverside Setting - Beautiful Black Rabbit
Part of the Hall & Woodhouse family of exceptional destination pubs, the Black Rabbit is glorious providing stunning views across the River Arun and the wetlands beyond, to Arundel Castle – arguably one of the loveliest views in England. With plenty of riverside seating, the pub is a hive of activity in summer and when winter finally sets in, the traditional interior (featuring authentic props from the Harry Potter movies, including the boat from ‘The Philosopher's Stone’) provides a cosy bolt-hole to relax and unwind.
We’re growing our kitchen team and looking for an experienced CDP, Section Chef or Line Chef to jump in and help us keep the good stuff coming. If you love great food, enjoy a buzzing service, and want to work with a genuinely supportive crew, this could be your next spot.

* A share of tips + extra rewards for standout performance

* Pathway to a Level 3 Production Chef apprenticeship (if you meet the entry criteria)
* Optional live‑in accommodation at £74.62 per week (depending on availability)
