Who will I be working for?    

We are St Austell Brewery, a family-owned, independent business that is passionate about great food and drink and delivering the very best to our customers. We produce award-winning beers and have pubs and hotels across the South West, from Bath and Bristol, to the Isles of Scilly.

This is a brilliant opportunity to become an important member of a tight-knit, hard-working team who are passionate about delivering amazing dishes.

What will I be doing?    

As a Chef, you’ll deliver high-quality dishes for customers at one of our sites in St Austell.     

You’ll help to prepare classic pub food that looks great and tastes delicious, from light snacks to the best fresh fish dishes.   

Initially, you’ll be mastering the basics on the griddle, cooking steak and chicken to a high standard and frying sides to accompany meals. You’ll have plenty of support to increase your abilities and take on new challenges as they arise.     

What do I need?    

To join us as a Chef, you’ll need:    

- Some kitchen or hospitality experience OR a catering-related qualification   
- Great communication skills
