Head Chef at Bath Brew House in Bath, on Only Chefs.
We’re looking for a passionate, hands-on Head Chef to build on Bath Brew House’s successful reopening and help make us a destination for brilliant food as well as great beer.
With our refreshed pub, buzzing garden and on-site brewery already in full swing, this is an opportunity to make your mark on an established operation. You’ll lead the kitchen team, deliver food people come back for, and bring fresh ideas to an offer that suits our lively Brew House personality.
Here we celebrate passion, dedication and, of course, beer.
About Bath Brew House
Bath Brew House is a proper pub with personality. We brew our own beer on site, serve it fresh from the tanks, and pair it with hearty, crowd-pleasing food. Think locals, craft beer lovers, big weekends, a buzzing garden and proper Sunday roasts.
We want our food to be every bit as memorable as our beer, from banging burgers and comforting pub classics to generous Sunday lunches.
The Food
This is pub food with confidence and comfort at its core.
Think:
Big, flavour-packed burgers
Proper pub classics with a Brew House twist
Picky plates and sharers for mates and matchdays
Food that works perfectly with a pint in hand
Proper Sunday roasts all year round, from classic plates to generous feasting boards
We’d love someone excited by cooking with our own beer, whether that’s in batters, gravies, marinades or something entirely new.
