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

If you're looking for a fulfilling chef role in a beautiful part of the country, where the focus is on excellence, sustainability, and wellbeing — we’d love to hear from you.
