What we look for in a Sous Chef:
We’re looking for a Sous Chef to join the team at the Grantley Arms and can provide live-in accommodation in stunning country village surroundings. We cook fresh and seasonal produce – whether that is sourced from nearby farms or seafood that is caught and landed daily. You’ll be working alongside our Head Chef, Tomas, to create fantastic plates of food, empower and develop the team and look after all aspects of Kitchen Management in our food-destination village pub. Over 50% of our Head Chef appointments are internal, and alongside development in house, there are a range of courses and opportunities that we can provide outside of the four walls of the pub to help you further your career.

10. Have experience championing excellent service through quality food
11. Demonstrate a passion for leading and developing a team
12. Be an active hands-on Chef with excellent communication skills
13. Be responsible and able to manage the kitchen team rota, training and all health and safety effectively at all times

15. Demonstrate great planning and organisational skills, necessary to maintain effective controls with regard to both GP and labour
16. Have a pro-active approach to driving sales and delivering growth, through positive engagement with both kitchen and front of house teams
