MAKE THIS KITCHEN YOUR OWN
We’re looking for a qualified, experienced and enthusiastic Chef to take charge of a small pub kitchen in Hook, Hampshire.
This is more than just a chef's job.
We’re looking for someone who wants to take ownership of the kitchen, develop the menu and put their own stamp on the food offering.
We have a starting idea for the menu, but we want the right chef to test it, improve it and bring their own ideas to the table.

Evenings – 5 days a week
🍛 Curry Night
🥧 Pie Night
🌮 Mexican Night
🍔 Burger Night
🍽️ Sunday Roast
Plus seasonal specials and your own dishes as the menu develops.
The idea is simple: good, honest, homemade pub food that is tasty, consistent, affordable and keeps people coming back.
We’re not looking for complicated fine dining. We want someone who understands what works in a local pub and can deliver it consistently.
👨🍳 WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
✔️ Qualified or highly experienced Chef
✔️ Confident running a kitchen independently
✔️ Organised and reliable
✔️ Good understanding of ordering, stock control and food hygiene
✔️ Passionate about good food
✔️ Someone with ideas and creativity

✔️ Someone who wants to make the kitchen their own
💷 WHAT WE OFFER

This is a fantastic opportunity for the right person to come in at the beginning, help shape the food offering and build something they can genuinely put their name to.
