Summary

Job Title: Sous Chef / Kitchen Team Member
Location: The New Inn, Shipton Gorge, Dorset
Salary: Dependent on experience
Accommodation: On-site accommodation available (optional)
Hours: Full-time

About Us:
The New Inn is a family-run village pub at the heart of the Shipton Gorge community. We’re building something long-term here, not just filling a vacancy. Our food is honest, well-executed pub fare that locals and visitors can enjoy, with a strong focus on consistency, quality and building a reputation we can be proud of.

The Role:
We’re looking for a Sous Chef level team member who’s as comfortable leading a service as they are jumping on prep, washing down, and generally keeping the wheels turning in a busy but supportive kitchen. This is not a brigade-style kitchen with layers of hierarchy — you’ll be working directly alongside the owners and be part of the core team that shapes the pub’s growth.

Key Qualities We’re Looking For:
A strong all-rounder with solid kitchen experience
Confident running a service when required
Happy to get stuck in with all aspects of kitchen work, from prep to cleaning
Reliable, organised, and calm under pressure
Positive attitude and willingness to contribute ideas and improvements
Able to take real ownership and pride in the food served
An interest in developing with us as we grow the business

What We’re Offering:
A permanent role in a friendly, family-run pub
The chance to help build and shape a growing business
Creative input on menus and future development
On-site accommodation available if required
Fair hours, a supportive team, and a chance to be part of something long-term

If you’re looking for more than just another chef job and want to be part of a pub where your input matters, we’d love to hear from you.
