Line Chef

We’re Almond Family Pubs – a proud, independent family-owned pub group known for doing things properly, and we’re looking for a brilliant Chef to join the kitchen team at The Station House in Cheadle Hulme.

The Station House is our newest and largest pub - a busy, premium, food-led site with 200 indoor covers and a further 230 outside. Since opening, it has quickly established itself as a hugely popular part of the local community, serving fresh, quality food alongside the pub classics our guests know and love.

This is a high-volume kitchen, so we’re looking for someone who enjoys a busy service, takes real pride in their section and cares about consistency, presentation and quality. You’ll work alongside an experienced senior kitchen team and have plenty of opportunity to learn, develop and progress within the business.

With five stunning pubs across the Stockport area, Almond Family Pubs is a special place to work. We’re 100% family owned and proud of our close-knit culture, great teams and genuine passion for hospitality. We believe in giving our people the support and autonomy to do their jobs well - while making sure work is somewhere you can enjoy being too.

Join us and we can offer you benefits such as…

·Excellent tips – currently averaging at £3.00 per hour

·Flexible hours with a healthy life/work balance

·50% off food for you and 3 others in any Almond Family pub

·Excellent training, development, and progression opportunities
