Set in one of Norfolk’s prettiest villages, we’re all about locally-sourced ingredients, big flavours, seasonal menus, and proper pub classics done right. As part of the Young’s Pubs family, we mix great food with warm vibes – and we’re building a kitchen crew that loves the buzz as much as the brunch.

Cooking up delicious, fresh, seasonal dishes
*
Training and motivating junior chefs (they’ll look up to you – literally and professionally)

*
You love a fast-paced kitchen and know how to keep it smooth when it’s busy
*

*
Up to £40,000 salary (based on experience)

48 hours per week, 5 days out of 7
