A hip 18th century hang‑out thanks to George III, Cheltenham is still living up to its billing 200 years later and the hotel is just a short stroll from the town's fashionable shopping street, The Promenade, in the chic Montpellier district. The majestic white building of the hotel looks right at home just around the corner from the serene Montpellier Gardens, and is sensitively‑converted but utterly modern villa with surrounding grounds.

We offer on‑the‑job training in house as well as working with our training provider to offer nationally recognised apprenticeships. If you want to progress your career a Mal kitchen is the place to do it. Over 50% of our Head Chefs have been promoted from within with 3 starting their journey as kitchen porters.

Working as Sous Chef in the kitchen you will support the Head Chef by ensuring the team deliver the brand standards in a smooth and consistent manner. Ideally you will have worked at this level before and be able to demonstrate your skills when developing the team beneath you.

Do you want to be part of something different, working with the best food, drink and a brand you can be proud of?
