​
Our gorgeous fresh food pub is searching for a talented & experienced commis chef &/or chef de partie looking to step up.
​
The Hare & Hounds is nestled within the chocolate box village of Old Warden within The Shuttleworth Estate. You might think that we are a quiet pub in the middle of nowhere when entering the village, but we are only a short drive from Bedford & Biggleswade, just down the road from Shuttleworth that host a huge range of events from air shows to hot rods, drawing people to the area from all over the world. Trust us, business is booming!
​
We only source fresh local ingredients (sometimes we only have to venture as far as our allotment) & create new menu's every 6-8 weeks. The menu is somewhat short but very sweet allowing us to focus on delivering consistent quality to each & every customer. The Hare & Hounds is a destination restaurant that is also home to a lovely & lively bunch of locals that like to provide an abundance of atmosphere & hang around the bar most evenings. Our reputation for delicious food & an exciting menu is ever growing & our aim is to apply for & gain rosette's & awards. Who are we looking for? If you're passionate about food, can't get enough taste sensations, design beautiful plates of food, a proper foodie then you're a good fit for us!
​
Like any kitchen you will need to be prepared for every service, handle the pressure of a busy lunch or dinner...or both! Our team is knowledgeable & have a wealth of amazing experience that would be wasted if not listened too. You must be able to follow instructions, be eager to learn & importantly - engage with writing new menu dishes, voice your ideas or new techniques.
​
As our business expands (we have big plans) there will be room for progression for anyone aiming to climb the kitchen ranks. We are looking for candidates with proven experience within a fresh food kitchen, knife skills, cooking skills, following recipes & cracking on with prep will be essential. Whilst you will predominantly work on our starter section you will need to be a team player & not be afraid to get stuck in to help in other areas of the kitchen when needed.
What do you get in return?
​
Our rates of pay are highly competitive & negotiable to the right candidate. Holiday pay, an equal share of daily tips when working (they're pretty good), a relaxed, vibrant but professional working environment along with the odd drink bought for you after a busy shift. Offering a work - life balance shift pattern.
LIVE IN IS AVAILABLE

Take your cooking to the next level, get in touch & join the team.
