We'll want you to share our passion for the highest quality ingredients and have the desire to get out of bed every day to serve the good stuff! You must be keen to learn, you'll need to have stamina and be quick on your feet.

There are real opportunities for you to progress your career with Peach and one of our Commis Chefs became a Head Chef with us in just 4 years.

Here's a taste of our 'Food Rules' and some of our Food Heroes to give a better understanding of Peachy food:


We believe in Honest Plates of Food that are pleasing to the eye. Dishes that show the skill, care & pride that went into it.
We run busy Gastropubs, serving lots of dishes at pace. That means three or four good things, not ten processes.Keep it simple and do it well.
Our Heroes: Rowley Leigh, Simon Hopkinson, Peter Gordon, Yotam Ottolenghi, Gary Rhodes, Raymond Blanc, Hugh Fearnley-WhittingstallJamie Oliver & Tom Kerridge
