Head Chef - Live-in available

We are a bold, award-winning business who pride ourselves in giving our chefs the freedom to create premium, seasonal menus that ‘wow’ our customers within an industry-leading environment.  We run friendly, welcoming, and positive kitchens with high standards; always striving to be the best we can be.

We are looking for a Head Chef to join the family. 

Located in historic Backwell on the outskirts of Bristol and a short drive from Weston-super-Mare, The Rising Sun is a beautiful pub and inn, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

We’re passionate about great food and drink, with an all-day food offer focused on seasonal, locally sourced produce and hearty pub classics. Behind the bar you’ll find plenty of award-winning Butcombe beer and cider, and a wide range of wine and cocktails.

With 6 ensuite bedrooms, The Rising Sun is the ideal location for a rural retreat, family break or staycation, and exploring nearby Bristol and the surrounding Somerset countryside, with Bristol Airport just 3 miles away.

A haven for families, walkers, cyclists and locals alike, The Rising Sun offers a huge beer garden with children’s play area, and large carpark.

The Rising Sun is dog-friendly, child-friendly, and perfectly positioned for visits to attractions such as the Mendips AONB, Cheddar Gorge, Wookey Hole, and the North Somerset coast.

What’s in it for you?

• Work/Life balance!  This role can be done over 3-4 days if you prefer!  People want and need flexibility - we will help you achieve that!

• A share of ALL TIPS, this can mean an additional £5,000 per annum (Approximate)
• Access to Liberation Life - an incredible platform where you can earn cash-back with major retailers, save money on your purchases including holidays, groceries, gifts and much more!
• The opportunity to work for a diverse company and gain experience in a range of kitchens and menus.  We take a collaborative approach to menu development, giving you autonomy over specials and events in your business.
• A competitive salary plus an achievable and substantial bonus scheme.
• Access to industry leading training and development.  We offer bespoke training plans as part of our ‘Pillars of Progression’ programme.
• We offer additional support and coaching from our executive chef team.
• You will work with some of the best locally sourced produce and ingredients.
• We will back with you the tools you need to do a great job and have invested significantly in our kitchens.
• The buzz that comes with team parties, events, training courses, great suppliers and some of the industry’s best team rewards, discounts and benefits (including 75% off food on shift).
• A business who cares about you.  We are ambassadors for the Burnt Chef Project fighting the stigma of mental health and working with them to train and support our teams.   We also offer an Employee Assistance Program that is there 24/7 to provide you with support.
