Sous Chef

Chattaway Group | Ulverston, South Lakeland, gateway to the Lake District

Sous Chef | Up to £40,000

We’re looking for an experienced Sous Chef who cares about good food, enjoys a busy kitchen and wants to be part of a growing local business.

The Chattaway Group is a small but growing, family-run hospitality business with over 40 years in the trade. We run a collection of independent pub-restaurants in Ulverston and the surrounding area, with more to come. The Farmers Ulverston, The Farmers Baycliff and The Rose & Crown Ulverston.

We’re looking for a Sous Chef to join our group and work alongside our Head Chefs across our kitchens. This is a role for someone who wants to be involved, take responsibility and help lead a kitchen, rather than simply turn up and cook.

You’ll be expected to lead from the front during service, support the Head Chef, develop the chefs around you and help maintain the standards we expect across the group.

What you’ll get

• Up to £40,000
• 4 or 5 day working week, depending on the venue
• Christmas Day off
• Private medical care
• Hourly paid, so every hour worked is paid
• Tips & tronc share
• Overtime opportunities
• Year-round work
• Pension scheme
• Staff discount at all our other venues for you and a friend
• Training and development as the group continues to grow
• Opportunities to progress as the group expands

What the job involves

• Supporting the Head Chef with the day-to-day running of the kitchen
• Leading the kitchen team during busy services
• Maintaining high standards of food, consistency and presentation
• Helping with ordering, stock control, food costs and waste
• Preparing and cooking to a high standard
• Supporting menu development and new ideas
• Training and developing junior chefs
• Maintaining food safety and kitchen standards
• Taking charge of the kitchen when the Head Chef is away
• Working across the group where required

We’re an independent group, so things move quickly and no two days are necessarily the same. We want someone who enjoys cooking, gets stuck in when it matters and takes pride in their kitchen.

If you’re an experienced Sous Chef, or a strong Chef de Partie ready to step up, we’d like to hear from you.

Interested?

Call or WhatsApp me on 07495 745998, or email [email protected].

You can also drop your number into any of our venues and I’ll give you a call.
