Junior Sous Chef Wanted at Pasture
The birthplace of Fire, Meat, Music and the beating heart of everything we stand for. With its character-rich setting, flagstone floors, sweeping staircase, and open kitchen filled with the sizzle of live-fire cooking, this is more than just a restaurant - it's a celebration of craft, quality, and connection.
We source only the very best suckled native beef from farms across the southwest, all grass-fed and raised with care. Our in-house butchers dry-age every cut for a minimum of 35 days and prepare each steak fresh for service. Behind the food is a passionate, tight-knit team, warm, welcoming, and dedicated to delivering unforgettable dining experiences night after night.
Whether you're stepping into the kitchen, joining the front-of-house, or leading service from the floor, Pasture Bristol offers the chance to be part of something truly special - the original flame that started it all.
Join a passionate, hardworking team dedicated to great food and genuine hospitality.
We are looking for an enthusiastic Junior Sous Chef to help lead and support our talented kitchen team. This is a great opportunity for someone who thrives in a high-energy environment and is eager to deliver consistently excellent food and service.
At our restaurant, we take pride in showcasing the best local and seasonal produce from the South West. From casual lunches and business meetings to special occasion dining, we aim to provide memorable experiences with every plate.

Your leadership style is hands-on and supportive, and you're committed to mentoring junior chefs while continuing to learn and grow yourself. Driven, positive, and consistent, you take pride in every plate that leaves the kitchen and work well as part of a close-knit, ambitious team.
