We’re on the lookout for a talented, driven Senior Chef to take a leading role in our busy, well-loved pub in the heart of the New Forest. If you’re passionate about fresh, seasonal food and thrive in a fast-paced kitchen, this is a role where you can really make your mark.

The Role
This is a hands-on position where you’ll work closely with the Head Chef (or lead the kitchen if required), helping to deliver consistently high-quality dishes to a high-volume service. You’ll be instrumental in maintaining standards, mentoring junior team members, and keeping the kitchen running smoothly during busy periods.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary (based on experience)
• 45 hours per week, across 5 days out of 7
• A supportive, professional kitchen team
• Work in a stunning New Forest location with a strong, loyal customer base
• Real opportunities for progression within the business

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience as a Senior Chef or strong Sous Chef in a busy pub or similar environment
• Passion for quality, locally sourced food and classic pub dishes done exceptionally well
• Ability to handle high-volume service without compromising standards
• Strong leadership skills and a positive, team-focused attitude
• Solid understanding of kitchen operations, hygiene, and food safety

About You
You’re organised, reliable, and calm under pressure. You take pride in every plate that leaves the kitchen and enjoy being part of a team that works hard and supports each other. Most importantly, you love what you do.

If you’re ready for your next step in a vibrant, fast-paced pub setting, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply now and bring your passion to the New Forest.
