A job you can enjoy

We are looking to recruit a passionate and dedicated Head

We are very passionate about what we do and the quality of
the ingredients we cook with, so we need a Head Chef who loves to cook with raw
ingredients as well as having the ability to coach and educate their team.

If you have
previous Head Chef experience, a strong team approach, a real passion for
delivering service excellence, and the strong desire to work within a
progressive and expanding company – then we want to hear from you

This is not for the faint hearted as we are busy and going
to get busier, so we need an experienced high class operator to lead and manage
our Kitchen whilst executing great food quality.  

It goes without saying that 5 star food hygiene standards
come before everything.

What do we do?

We own a collection of
beautiful and individual premium pubs across Southern England. Our pubs are in
idyllic settings in country villages and towns, where we are proud to be the
quality local of the area, serving high quality fresh pub food in a cozy pub ambience.
Most of our pubs have some Charming Bedrooms as well. New to our growing family
is Harper’s Steakhouse, a new premium American Steakhouse brand that we started
rolling out last year.

It’s an exciting time to join us

Upham Inns is growing,
and we want you to grow with us and be part of our success. We’ve been busy
investing in our business and we are seeing some great results. So, we want to
continue to grow our pub family and we are looking to recruit passionate people
into our team

We are looking for great people to join us

Our company is big
enough to support you but small enough to care about your individual needs. We
are a friendly, hands-on team who have a passion for running great pubs. We are
always on the lookout for like-minded people who have the desire to work and
grow with us.
