We’re Almond Family Pubs – a proud, independent group known for doing things properly. We’re about to launch an exciting newly refurbished and rebranded premium pub in Cheadle Hulme (currently Platform 5) and we’re looking for a brilliant Head Chef with a commercial edge to lead the kitchen.

With 200 indoor covers and a further 230 outside, this is a big, busy, food-led site that will be a true community hub. Expect a fresh, seasonal menu, classic pub favourites with a premium twist, and a kitchen team you’ll help hand-pick and lead.

This is your chance to run a brand-new kitchen in a business that values quality, autonomy and team culture.

With a superb selection of stunning pubs all located in and around the Stockport area, Almond Family Pubs is a special place to work. 100% family owned, we are a close-knit team of people who are passionate about working in great pubs and delivering incredible customer service. We’re well known for our delicious carveries, tasty pub classics and great beers and wines, and this will be the 5th pub to join our family.

Join us and we can offer you benefits such as…

  • Excellent tips – currently averaging at £2.50 per hour
  • Performance based bonus scheme
  • Flexible hours with a healthy life / work balance
  • Refer a friend scheme
  • 50% off food for you and 3 others in any Almond Family pub
  • Excellent training, development, and progression opportunities
  • Free food and drinks whilst on shift
  • A fun, supportive, and inclusive work environment with a real family feel
  • Regular team events and incentives

As Head Chef, you will :

  • Take full ownership of the kitchen operation, from prep to pass
  • Lead, inspire, and develop your team to deliver consistent, top-quality food
  • Create a positive kitchen culture with strong training, support and communication
  • Drive and maintain high standards in food safety, cleanliness and compliance
  • Work closely with the General Manager and Operations Chef to hit targets and maximise kitchen performance
  • Have input into menu development and specials, showcasing fresh, seasonal ingredients
  • Manage stock, wastage and GP – and ensure everything runs like clockwork during service

    • We’re looking for a Head Chef who brings :

  • Proven experience in high-volume, premium pub or casual dining kitchens
  • Energy and a ‘can-do’ attitude
  • Strong leadership skills and a passion for team development
  • A commitment to fresh, quality food and consistency under pressure
  • A calm, professional approach – even in a fast-paced environment
  • Knowledge of compliance, food safety, and kitchen best practices
  • Able to cook to spec and awareness of GPs and budgets
  • Experience managing labour costs and ensure staffing levels are appropriate
  • A proactive, hands-on attitude and a desire to be part of something special from the ground up
