Sous Chef – Busy Gastro Pub (Outskirts of Bath)

Salary: Up to £40,000 (including bonus, DOE) + Excellent Internal Development

Location: Outskirts of Bath (Own transport required)

Our client, a highly successful and busy gastro pub located on the scenic outskirts of Bath, is looking for a talented Sous Chef to join their kitchen leadership team.

The standout feature of this kitchen is its team—they are a young, high-energy, and dynamic group who are incredibly eager to learn. Because of this, my client isn’t just looking for technical cooking skills. They need a Sous Chef with high emotional intelligence (EQ) who genuinely thrives on training, coaching, and mentoring junior talent.

Whether you are a rising, dynamic chef looking for your next challenge, or an experienced leader who loves fostering a positive, vibrant kitchen culture, this role offers a fantastic environment to make an impact.

Requirements

  • A strong background that combines gastro pub or fine dining quality with high-volume experience.
  • High EQ is essential. You need to be a patient, supportive mentor who can motivate and develop a young brigade.
  • Due to the rural location outside Bath, your own transport is required.

What’s on offer:

  • A competitive package up to £40k (DOE), baseline dependent on your experience.
  • Clear, structured paths for internal training and professional development.
  • The chance to work with a supportive management team that values positive workplace culture.
