You'll build your own kitchen team, shape the culture and play a key role in establishing Lil' Nashville as Bristol's home for authentic Southern BBQ.

About the Role

As Kitchen Manager, you'll take full responsibility for the leadership, performance and day-to-day running of the kitchen. You'll lead a team passionate about producing exceptional Southern BBQ, ensuring every dish is prepared with consistency, quality and pride.

Working closely with the General Manager and Operations Manager, you'll drive food quality, control costs, develop your team and create a kitchen that delivers outstanding food every single service.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Leading all day-to-day kitchen operations.
  • Training and developing the opening kitchen team.
  • Delivering authentic Southern BBQ to the highest standards every service.
  • Managing food cost, labour, stock and waste to achieve budget targets.

  • Thrives in a fast-paced environment and leads by example.
  • Takes pride in consistency, organisation and attention to detail.
  • Wants the opportunity to build a kitchen from the ground up.

Experience with commercial smokers is an advantage, but we're equally interested in chefs with a genuine passion for low-and-slow BBQ who are excited to develop their skills.

Why Join Lil' Nashville?

Opening a new venue isn't easy, but it's one of the most rewarding challenges in hospitality.

As an independent business, we trust our managers, value good ideas and give people the opportunity to make a real impact. You'll have the chance to build your own kitchen, develop your own team and help create one of Bristol's most exciting independent restaurants.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary
  • 28 days holiday
  • Staff food on shift
  • Staff discount
  • Ongoing training and development
  • Genuine opportunities to grow with a growing independent business
