Sous Chef - Live In Available

Sous Chef

The Chequers is a beautiful pub overlooking the river Avon on a national trust walk. We pride ourselves on using fresh British produce; all our meals are cooked freshly on-site. Whilst we are a very seasonal business and very busy over the summer period we also have a healthy trade during the off-season of local clientele and guests using the river Avon for their sporting activities.
