Job description
Are you an experienced head chef who has a proven track record of managing a team?
We are currently delivering £6-8k in food sales, which has the site in over 35% food sales growth so bonus potential is very good.
The site currently has 2 sous chefs, 1 apprentice, 1 Commis, 1 PT CDP, 1 full time KP offering an opportunity to come in and get the ground running.
There is live in available which is a large room with shared bathroom and kitchen. 

The site has lots of cover capacity to take advantage of to continue to see the business grow.
Conservatory restaurant that seats up to 50
Study - our more casual dining area that also offers us a great private function space seats up to 40
Lounge and front bar - our bar area's where our guests enjoy a more casual service seats up to 60
Fox's Den is out outside covered area that seats up to 50
Garden offering over 250 cover 

We pride ourselves on being the hub of the community, this means we need to cater for all needs, so if you like variety you will find it here... with ever changing specials, catering for private events offering buffets or afternoon tea, making the most of our pizza oven or putting on a BBQ or hog roast to come hang out in the garden. 
Our guests love chatting to the chef, and we are looking for someone that enjoys coming out the kitchen to say hello.

The site has been recently refurbished and has a good size kitchen.

What can we offer you?

  • 25% staff discount off food and drink, across all our pubs and hotels for you and your friends and family. This increases the longer you work for us, up to 40%
  • Annual bonus
  • Life Assurance
  • Enhanced pension scheme
  • Discounted hotel stays
  • Access to ‘My Fuller’s’ – our online benefits platform where you can make savings at 100’s of retailers and access discounted gym memberships, cinema tickets and much more!
  • Healthcare Cash Plan
  • Opportunity to grow in your role
  • The option to receive 30% of your earnings as you earn them. This means you won’t need to wait until payday for your money.

The Fox & Pelican is a true community pub - think fresh food, friendly service, live sport and real ales. There's a thriving bar trade here, so expect a busy atmosphere.

As our new Head Chef, you’ll lead our kitchen team in the creation of fabulous, fresh dishes – using your culinary magic to give customers a special pub-dining experience.

You’ll be working with seasonal, local and regional ingredients, in a well-equipped kitchen – within a company that really understands the importance of getting food right.

Being Head Chef is a real challenge, so you can count on the full support of a team of Executive Chefs and our other teams at the Support Centre to help you to develop your business.

Looking after the kitchen however is your domain. You’ll lead your team expertly through service, and you’ll take full control of the food side of the business. We encourage our chefs to implement new cooking techniques whilst providing our customers with a traditional foundation of great pub classics.

That means you’ll need a commercial head, as well as exceptional cooking skills. You’ll also be a great communicator, calm under pressure, and you’ll be driven by a shared vision of success and a company that will give you the tools to do so.

But most importantly, you’ll show real passion for fresh food. At Fuller’s, we’re determined to do pub food differently – this is your chance to be part of something unique.

  • You should have great leadership skills
  • You’ll thrive on the fast pace of the kitchen
  • You’ll set yourself and others the very highest standards
