Sous Chef - Twyning

We are a bold, award-winning business who pride ourselves in giving our chefs the freedom to create premium, seasonal menus that 'wow' our customers within an industry-leading environment. We run friendly, welcoming, and positive kitchens with high standards; always striving to be the best we can be.

We are looking for a Sous Chef to join the family.

Located in beautiful Tyning, near Tewkesbury, The Fleet Inn is a riverside pub and restaurant with three brand new boutique bedrooms and heated pergola terrace. Newly refurbished, the Fleet boasts gorgeous interiors, traditional pub charm and unrivalled beer garden views over the River Avon.

On the pub menu our focus is locally sourced produce, seasonal ingredients and pub classics, while outside we serve up street food-inspired treats from our open kitchen to the buzzing terrace and garden. Expect wood-fired pizza, smash burgers, seafood, loaded fries and soft-serve gelato. At the bar, we offer a wide range of ale, lager and cider from our award-winning brewery, Butcombe. Our new bedrooms are full of cosy furnishings, personal touches, and super comfy beds. Perfect for some riverside relaxation, or a break with the family.
