Head Chef | Highfields Tavern

Are you a culinary leader who thrives in a high-volume, professional environment? Highfields Tavern is looking for an experienced Head Chef to take full ownership of our kitchen and lead a high-performing team in one of the region's busiest venues.

Highfields Tavern is a modern community powerhouse, famous for its massive family bistro, vibrant atmosphere, and consistent quality. This is a venue where food is at the heart of the experience. We need a Head Chef who is a commercial expert, someone who can manage the pressure of a packed service while maintaining sharp control over kitchen P&L, food costs, and team culture.

A day in the life of a Head Chef:

• Command the kitchen like it’s your own, keeping it running smooth, safe, and profitable
• Be a key part of the leadership crew, working closely with the Publican and FOH team
• Share your passion, skills, and creativity to grow a high-performing kitchen team
• Keep the connection between the kitchen and front of house flowing with good vibes and great food every shift

Inherent requirements:

• This is a hands-on role that involves manual handling and lifting as part of regular duties (e.g. moving stock, kegs, and deliveries). Applicants must have the ability to perform physical tasks safely and efficiently.

About you:

• You’ve got the experience, confidence, and pride to own the kitchen and make it shine
• You’ve got trade cooking qualifications and food safety certifications sorted
• You live and breathe the Head Chef life - creating food people talk about and coming in each day ready to lead
