Kitchen Team Leader

The Kitchen Team Leader role places you at the heart of Chef & Brewer’s country‑style pubs, a network of welcoming venues that offer well‑crafted food, carefully selected drinks and a relaxed, home‑like atmosphere for guests across the country. As a leader in the kitchen you will set the example, ensuring the crew has the resources they need for a seamless service. Your daily duties involve preparing, cooking and plating dishes that meet the brand’s specifications while maintaining strict hygiene and safety standards. You will also act as a deputy for the management team, handling any issues that arise when they are absent, and you will organise the team during peak periods to keep the workflow running smoothly. The position requires the ability to thrive under pressure in a busy kitchen, a genuine enthusiasm for delivering tasty, well‑presented meals, and the capacity to be a role model for high standards. You must be able to think quickly, adapt to unexpected challenges, and work collaboratively with colleagues to achieve a perfect plate for every customer. Chef & Brewer offers a range of perks that support personal and professional growth, including access to apprenticeship training across its well‑known brands, a competitive remuneration package with pension, and a variety of discounts – 33 % for you and 15 % for family on food and drink, 50 % on Greene King inns and hotels, plus retail offers such as up to 30 % off at Superdrug. Additional benefits feature an employee assistance programme, early‑wage access via Wagestream, and a referral bonus of up to £1,500, all designed to reward hard work and encourage career development within the group.
