LIVE\-IN Head Chef (2\-bed flat)

About us:

Tucked away in the loveliness of leafy Ealing, The New Inn is just a hop, skip \& jump from South Ealing Tube station and a stones throw from the buzz of Ealing Broadway.

We don't like to brag (okay, maybe just a little bit), but we are rather proud of our cracking seasonal menus and drinks list that could charm even the fustiest of sippers. Our garden? Shes a bit of a show off herself, bursting with good vibes and sun seekers in the summer and cosily wrapped up come the winter months.

Paddy our GM has been with youngs for many years and know his way around a cask or 2 and would love to welcome you in to our tight knit family.

We had a top to toe glow up a few years back, and she's still looking like a proper stunner. So if you're in the area pop in and introduce yourself also to see what all the fuss is about.

Being a Head Chef at Young's:

We believe every pub should be different. This means that you'll be writing your own recipes that match the food vision of your business using fresh seasonal ingredients. The food vision could be all about showcasing local produce, country pub classics, seafood, small plates and sharers, dry\-aged meat \- each pub is different and its up to you as head chef to put your own creative stamp on that vision. We work with fresh, seasonal produce, so the menu should constantly evolve to showcase these fantastic ingredients when they are at their best. Premium fresh food crafted by skilled chefs in Premium Pubs .

Being a Head Chef at the New Inn:

Here at the New Inn we are a vibrant, well\-loved community pub in the heart of Ealing, famous for our warm hospitality, legendary Sunday roasts, and an ever\-changing menu of exceptional seasonal specials. Boasting one of the biggest and best beer gardens in west London, we are a go\-to destination for outdoor dining and drinking throughout the summer as well as into the winter when we winterize the garden area.

We are entering a new, exciting chapter and want to fully maximize our incredible outdoor space by launching a premium barbecue and outdoor food concept. We are looking for a passionate, entrepreneurial Head Chef to lead our kitchen team, maintain our high standards, and spearhead this outdoor expansion with their own ideas and influence.
