Sous Chef

As Sous Chef at the Dormouse, you will help to lead a team to be proud of, keeping spirits high and specs on point. You will be the master of the menu and get a thrill from teaching the team.

Join us at Vintage Inns, a charming collection of rural pubs. You’ll find roaring log fires, traditional food and a cosy atmosphere. If you want to be part of the Inn crowd, we want to hear from you.
