We are supporting a well-established and character-filled pub on the Wirral that has recently undergone a major refurbishment and is now thriving as a popular destination for both dining and drinks.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Senior Sous Chef to join a busy, food-led kitchen with a strong reputation for quality, consistency, and fresh cooking. The focus is on well-executed, seasonal food rather than fine dining, with creativity, local ingredients, and flavour at the heart of the menu.

The Role

As Senior Sous Chef, you will play a key role in helping to lead the kitchen, supporting the Head Chef, and ensuring high standards are maintained during busy, high-volume service.

You will be involved in menu planning and development and will be encouraged to bring your own ideas, influence dishes, and showcase your creativity. This is a hands-on role suited to a chef who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment and takes pride in delivering great food consistently.

Key Responsibilities

• Support the Head Chef in the day-to-day running of the kitchen
• Help lead and motivate the kitchen brigade
• Maintain high standards of food quality, consistency, and presentation
• Contribute to menu planning and seasonal changes
• Develop and introduce new dishes and ideas
• Ensure food safety, hygiene, and health and safety standards are met
• Support smooth service during busy, high-volume periods

About You

• An experienced Senior Sous Chef
• At least 5 years’ experience working in a similar fresh food kitchen
• Background in busy, high-volume service environments
• Passionate about fresh ingredients and seasonal cooking
• Creative, enthusiastic, and detail-focused
• Strong leadership skills and a calm approach under pressure

The Company

This role sits within a well-established, family-run hospitality group operating multiple sites across the Wirral and North and Mid Wales. The business takes pride in its pubs, values its people, and focuses on long-term quality rather than short-term growth. Teams are supported, respected, and encouraged to develop.

If you are a Senior Sous Chef looking for a high-quality, food-led kitchen where your creativity and leadership will be genuinely valued in 2026, this is for you!!
