👨‍🍳 WE’RE NOT LOOKING FOR CHEFS.
WE’RE LOOKING FOR THE CHEFS.

The ones who care about the food.

The ones who take pride in what they do.
And the ones who understand that a great kitchen is about teamwork.

🔥 THE COW SHED AT THE SHIP INN, OSPRINGE IS GROWING.

And we want experienced chefs who want to grow with us, rather than simply turn up, cook, clock off and go home.

🏆 AND WE’RE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT BUILDING SOMETHING GOOD — WE’RE ALREADY GETTING RECOGNISED FOR IT.

We’re incredibly proud to have been:
⭐ Quarter Finalists in the BII Awards
⭐ Finalists for the Stonegate Pub of the Year Award
⭐ Finalists in the Kent Food & Drink Awards

We’re growing, we’re ambitious, and we’re determined to keep raising the bar — and we want the right chefs to be part of that journey.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?

🍽️ Full-time & part-time opportunities
💰 Competitive pay — because experience has value
⏰ Flexibility where we can make it work
🔥 A genuinely busy, exciting kitchen
🚚 Opportunities beyond the pub with our events & mobile catering
🤝 A team that looks after its own
❤️ A workplace where you’re valued for what you bring
🏆 The chance to be part of an award-recognised, growing business

We know there are plenty of places looking for chefs right now.

So why should you choose us?

Because we’re not interested in simply filling a vacancy.

We’re interested in finding the right people and building something properly good around them.

If you’ve got experience, pride in your work and the attitude to match your skills…

COME AND TALK TO US. 🔥

📩 Send your CV + a little about yourself to:

Or drop us a message.

No recruitment agencies.
No corporate nonsense.

Just a conversation about whether we’re the right fit for each other.
