Sous Chef

We are on the hunt for a talented and passionate Sous Chef to join us at Peach Pubs.

As Sous Chef, you’ll be second to the Head Chef and play a key role in leading the kitchen day to day. You’ll support the team through busy services, keep standards high and help make sure every dish leaves the pass looking and tasting its best.

You’ll love it here if you’re compassionate, kind and honest, with bags of passion for fresh food, proper pub classics and developing people. We provide a safe, respectful and inclusive environment where you can lead by example, grow your skills and help shape a confident, happy kitchen team.

At Peach Pubs, we create welcoming, characterful gastro pubs where guests love to spend time and teams love coming to work. Great hospitality starts with great people, so we're committed to creating an environment where everyone feels valued, supported and encouraged to grow.

Whether you already have experience as a Sous Chef, Junior Sous Chef or strong Chef de Partie ready to step up, we’ll provide the support and opportunities you need to succeed and progress.

At Peach, we believe in always serving the good stuff. That means fresh, seasonal and sustainable food, made with care and served with pride.

We work with brilliant local suppliers wherever we can, choosing free-range, well-sourced and ethical ingredients that help us create food our guests love and our teams can feel proud of.

Our menus celebrate proper pub classics. The quality of the ingredients are always evident, and our specials menus are a brilliant opportunity for chefs to show creativity, take ownership and wow our guests.
