Are you a passionate, produce-led chef looking for your next step in a progressive, quality-driven kitchen?

A beautifully restored country inn located in Somerset, just a short drive from Bath and Frome, is seeking a skilled Chef de Partie or Junior Sous Chef (depending on experience) to join a small, close-knit team.

Led by a chef-owner, the kitchen holds 2 AA Rosettes and is confidently working at that level, with ambitions to achieve a third rosette and inclusion in the Michelin Guide. This is an ideal opportunity for chefs who care deeply about flavour, finesse, and sustainability.

Menus are proudly produce-led and seasonal, with much of the fruit, vegetables, and herbs grown on-site in their own kitchen gardens. It’s a true farm-to-fork operation — rooted in creativity, quality, and provenance.

What We’re Looking For:

• 
  

  Experience at 2 AA Rosette level or higher, or the ability to thrive in that environment

  
  


• 
  

  Passion for fresh, seasonal, and home-grown produce

  
  


• 
  

  A team player with a professional attitude and eagerness to learn

  
  


• 
  

  Confident across all sections and calm under pressure

  
  

What’s on Offer:

• 
  

  £32,000 – £35,000 salary, depending on experience

  
  


• 
  

  Excellent tronc/tips on top

  
  


• 
  

  Work-life balance is a genuine priority – realistic hours and a supportive working culture

  
  


• 
  

  Work directly with a hands-on, experienced chef-owner

  
  


• 
  

  Opportunities to contribute to seasonal menu development

  
  


• 
  

  Be part of a kitchen on the path to national recognition
