Head Chef

About us
The Alexander Pope pub & hotel is a stylish hub for Twickenham & Teddington, just a five‑minute walk from Strawberry Hill Station. Serving all the pub classics we have a particular focus on fresh fish which we champion via our daily Skipper’s Catch. On rugby days you can find the pub buzzing with all the pre‑match diners, not to mention our live music nights and famous quiz nights.

Sundays are very popular for families who just love our Sunday Roasts.

Live in Head Chef
We believe every pub should be different. This means that you’ll be writing your own recipes that match the food vision of your business using fresh seasonal ingredients. The food vision could be all about showcasing local produce, country pub classics, seafood, small plates and sharers, dry‑aged meat – each pub is different and it’s up to you as head chef to put your own creative stamp on that vision.

We work with fresh, seasonal produce, so the menu should constantly evolve to showcase these fantastic ingredients when they are at their best.
