This is an exciting opportunity for a creative Sous Chef to join a new opening in Silloth, helping to shape the kitchen, menus and team from the very beginning. The business is looking to create a warm, quality led pub food offering built around proper British dishes, strong flavours and hearty cooking with a refined edge.

The food style will be relaxed and welcoming, with British pub food at its heart, but delivered with care, consistency and pride. This is not about pretentious food, but about taking familiar dishes and making them the best they can be through good produce, strong technique and thoughtful presentation.

This role does provide accommodation, however you must be able to drive due to the location.
