Head Chef (1 year relevant experience required)

We are a bold, award-winning business who pride ourselves in giving our chefs the freedom to create premium, seasonal menus that ‘wow’ our customers within an industry-leading environment.

We run friendly, welcoming, and positive kitchens with high standards; always striving to be the best we can be.

We are looking for a Senior Sous Chef to join the family.

Located in the heart of Compton Martin, Somerset, the Ring O’ Bells is a traditional village pub full of charm and atmosphere, and a history dating back to the 16th century. Named as one of the Top Ten Cosiest Pubs by Country Living, inside the pub, expect plenty of original features, with dark wooden beams, wooden flooring, stone walls, and a large inglenook fireplace. Outside, our huge beer garden is perfect for al fresco drinking and dining, complete with a play area to keep the kids entertained.

On the menu, our focus is locally sourced ingredients, seasonal dishes and pub classics, with a cracking lineup of award-winning local Butcombe beer and cider behind the bar. We have two dog-friendly and family-friendly bedrooms with countryside views and super comfy beds.

The Ring O’ Bells is situated within easy reach of the beautiful Chew Valley, Blagdon Lake, and Mendip Hills AONB, and close to Bristol International Airport.
