Head Chef

PUB BIO

Food sits at the heart of everything we do. We cook with the seasons, work closely with local suppliers, and let great produce lead the menu. We keep things simple, make as much as we can from scratch and believe brilliant ingredients don't need unnecessary fuss.

We're looking for a Head Chef who leads by example, sets high standards, and collaborates with their team to create a kitchen where people can thrive. Our food ethos is shaped collaboratively by the kitchen teams across the group, so your role is to help deliver it brilliantly, service after service, while contributing to an environment where people can develop and do their best work.

The good stuff

• Every Head Chef receives a £150 monthly voucher to spend across our pubs.
• Up to £2000 annual bonus.
• Flexible working patterns and paid overtime.
• Uniform is provided and laundered.
• You eat from the menu if you work six hours.
• Enjoy 50% off food at any of our pubs (Monday-Thursday).
• £100 voucher on your Birthday to spend at any of our places.
• Each month there are rewards and giveaways.
• Team trips and away days.
• We celebrate and recognise milestones.
• We host the Annual Chickpea Awards Bash, to celebrate our teams.
• 24/7 support available for your mental, physical and financial health.

Our mission

At Chickpea, we're reimagining rural hospitality.

That means bringing well-loved pubs back to life, serving honest food and decent booze, and creating places where locals, regulars and visitors all feel at home.

We're founder-owned and seven years in. Today, we run ten pubs across the Southwest, but the idea hasn't changed much since day one. Great pubs are built by great people. We trust our people to make decisions, giving them room to grow, celebrating the good days and backing each other through the chaotic ones too.

Who We're Looking For

• Proven experience as a Head Chef in a quality-led kitchen.
• A genuine passion for food and a commitment to delivering excellence, every service.
• A natural leader who can motivate, support and develop a team.
• Someone organised, detail-focused and comfortable taking ownership.
• A positive, energetic approach and the ambition to help build something special.
