Junior Sous Chef

We are looking for a passionate and driven Junior Sous Chef to join our team, primarily based at The Ostrich, while supporting our Head Chefs across multiple sites in the Bristol area. This is an exciting opportunity for a talented chef who thrives in fast-paced kitchen environments and enjoys the variety of working across different locations. You'll play a key role in supporting day-to-day kitchen operations, maintaining high standards, and ensuring consistently exceptional food is delivered across all sites. The ideal candidate will have a genuine passion for cooking, a strong work ethic, and the ability to adapt quickly to different teams and kitchens. You'll take pride in producing quality dishes, supporting colleagues, and contributing to a positive kitchen culture. If you're ready to develop your skills, broaden your experience, and take the next step in your culinary career, we'd love to hear from you.

Perched on the edge of the historic Bristol harbourside, The Ostrich sits proudly with its huge pub garden and cosy interiors over two floors. Upstairs, the newly refurbished 'Top Deck' dining space and bar offers the perfect spot to eat and drink, with stunning views over the harbour, and is available for private hire. Please note you can only book a table in our Top Deck bar, outside is a first come first serve basis. On the menu, it's a celebration of traditional British pub classics and seasonal, local produce, with exciting small plates and delicious boards for sharing, plus our famous pies and bar snacks. When Sunday comes, expect Bristol's best roasts and the star of the show - our sharing pies. Behind the bar, it's all about award-winning Butcombe beers and an extensive rum menu - a nod to The Ostrich's roots as a dockside inn where sailors, merchants and dock-workers once drank.
