Are you ready to put the freshness back into your chef life? Do you love great food, fast-paced kitchens, and being part of a team that genuinely cares? At Chilled Pubs, we’re on the lookout for a brilliant Sous Chef to support in leading one of our vibrant kitchens. Think: towering burgers, swinging skewers, wood-fired pizza, bao buns and home-made gelato – all fresh, all day, every day. But this isn’t just a job. We’re a growing, culture-first company with bold ambitions and a big heart. Want in? Why Chilled? It all began in 2007 when Loren backed Richard’s wild idea to buy The Bulls Head in Repton. Now? We’ve grown to 7 stunning pubs, 500 team members, a food factory, and 7 (yes, 7) alpaca mascots. We don’t measure success by sales — we measure culture. That means we care about how people feel, grow, and thrive. We believe the best chefs aren’t just great cooks – they’re great humans. Hungry, Humble, and People Smart.
