Job description

Overview

Join us as a kitchen assistant and you’ll be the person who keeps the wheels turning in our busy kitchen. You’ll keep it clean and you’ll keep it safe – and you’ll protect the space so the chefs can create spectacular dishes.

Kitchen life is hard work, but it’s also a lot of fun. The team spirit is brilliant and there’s real pride in helping create something special for customers. Upham is a business where kitchen assistants can go on to become chefs or even general managers – and given our passion for fresh ingredients, there are few better places to learn the food business. If you’ve never worked in a professional kitchen before, don’t worry. Comprehensive training will be provided.

What do we do?

We own a collection of beautiful and individual premium pubs across Southern England. Our pubs are in idyllic settings in country villages and towns, where we are proud to be the quality local of the area, serving high quality fresh pub food in a cozy pub ambience. Most of our pubs have some Charming Bedrooms as well. New to our growing family is Harper’s Steakhouse, a new premium American Steakhouse brand that we started rolling out last year.

It’s an exciting time to join us!

Upham Inns is growing, and we want you to grow with us and be part of our success. We’ve been busy investing in our business and we are seeing some great results. So, we want to continue to grow our pub family and we are looking to recruit passionate people into our team.

We are looking for great people to join us

Our company is big enough to support you but small enough to care about your individual needs. We are a friendly, hands-on team who have a passion for running great pubs. We are always on the lookout for like-minded people who have the desire to work and grow with us.

Benefits

• Up to £11.44 per hour plus a share of Tronc
• Up to 33% off meals taken off duty for you and up to 6 guests
• 33% off our hotel accommodation and 20% for Friends and Family
• Development program with a clear pathway
• Access to the lifestyle card with instant access to over 5,000 discounts across lifestyle, local independents, national and online businesses (free for Upham Inn team members)
• Service Awards
• A Birthday Gift
• Refer a friend and Chef recruitment incentives of up to £1,000
