Sous Chef / Junior Sous-Chef

£35,000 - £38,000 per year

Roots Catering at Southend Barns, West Sussex

Love cooking but want a better work/life balance?

Roots Catering is looking for an ambitious Sous Chef or Junior Sous Chef to join our award-winning team at Southend Barns, one of the South's leading wedding venues.

We create fresh, seasonal food for luxury weddings and events, cooking everything properly from scratch using the best local produce we can get our hands on.

Our food is all about flavour first. We work closely with local suppliers, champion seasonal ingredients and take pride in creating dishes that look beautiful but, more importantly, taste incredible.

This role offers something many chef jobs don't:

✔ £35,000 - £38,000 salary
✔ 5-day working week
✔ No split shifts
✔ Average 42-hour week across the year
✔ Christmas period off
✔ Free staff meals
✔ Free parking
✔ Creative input into menus and dishes
✔ Working with high-quality local produce
✔ A genuinely supportive and professional kitchen culture

The Role

Working alongside our Head Chef, you'll play a key role in the day-to-day running of the kitchen, helping to deliver exceptional food for weddings and events throughout the year.

Responsibilities include:

  • Preparing and cooking fresh seasonal menus
  • Leading sections and supporting service at weddings and events
  • Assisting with ordering and stock control
  • Training and developing junior team members
  • Maintaining exceptional food safety and hygiene standards
  • Helping develop new dishes and menu ideas
  • Taking responsibility within the kitchen when required

About You

We're looking for someone who genuinely loves cooking and wants to continue developing their career within a professional fresh-food kitchen.

You may already be a Sous Chef, or perhaps an experienced Chef de Partie or Junior Sous Chef looking for the next step.

Most importantly, you'll be:

  • Passionate about food and hospitality
  • Organised and reliable
  • Calm under pressure
  • Positive and supportive with your team
  • Proud of producing great food consistently
  • Someone who cares about standards, cleanliness and attention to detail

Our kitchen is known for being exceptionally clean, organised and professional. We take pride in maintaining high standards and expect everyone in the team to do the same.

Why Roots?

We're a small team that genuinely enjoys what we do. We work hard, support each other and care deeply about the food we produce.

We believe hospitality can offer both an exciting career and a life outside of work. That's why we've built a kitchen culture focused on quality, teamwork, professionalism and balance.

If you're looking for a role where food matters, standards matter and people matter, we'd love to hear from you.

Pay: £35,000.00-£38,000.00 per year

Benefits:

  • Company pension
  • Discounted or free food
  • Employee discount
  • Free parking
  • On-site parking

Work Location: In person
