Head Chef – The Bell, Frampton-on-Severn
We’re looking for a Head Chef who wants more than just a job – we’re looking for someone who wants to make a kitchen their own.
The Bell is a busy village pub at the heart of the community. Our customers love quality pub food, but they also love a proper sandwich, cheesy chips and the classics. We believe in giving people what they want, done really well.
We’re looking for someone who understands that balance. A chef who’s passionate about great food, takes pride in consistency, and wants to develop the menu over time while keeping the favourites that bring people back week after week.
What you’ll be doing:
- Leading the kitchen and setting high standards every day.
- Building, developing and inspiring your own kitchen team.
- Creating seasonal specials and evolving the menu over time.
- Delivering consistently good quality pub food in a busy environment.
- Working with the wider management team to help drive the business forward.
- Managing stock, GP, food safety, hygiene and kitchen operations.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Is an experienced Head Chef or a very strong Sous Chef ready to step up
- Wants ownership of their kitchen and takes pride in what they produce.
- Is a genuine leader who can get the best from a variety of people and personalities.
- Thrives in a busy service without compromising on quality.
- Understands that excellent pub food is just as important as getting the sandwiches and cheesy chips right.
What we offer:
- Full-time permanent position, with the option to work across 4 days if preferred
- Salary of £40,000 per annum
- The opportunity to shape the kitchen, build your own team and put your stamp on the menu.
- A supportive, hands-on management team that values good ideas and gives you the freedom to make them happen.
- Company pension
- Healthcare cash plan
We are a family-run business with over 40 years of experience, and The Bell Inn has been successfully established for over 20 years. We pride ourselves on offering a secure, long-term future for our team.
If you’re looking for a Head Chef role with real work-life balance and stability, we’d love to hear from you.
