We make amazing award-winning beers and spirits from our home in Southwold, have some great shops across the region and operate some stunning pubs and hotels. We understand the value of every customer and work hard to deliver amazing service in a time of exciting innovation and digital transformation.

We do all of this while caring passionately about the environment, our local communities and our wider social responsibilities.

Our success is because of our people, who are at the heart of everything we do really care about diversity and are proud of our culture where everyone is respected, valued and treated with kindness.

We encourage our chefs to explore all areas of the kitchen to enhance their knowledge and personal development where you will learn different aspects of the kitchen sections including hot / cold section, larder, sauce and butchery.

You will assist in the development of our up-and-coming rising stars and will work towards effectively building on your strengths and previous experience whilst working closely with our Head Chef.

You must be able to work under pressure, have great communication skills and be a team player to work in conjunction with our Front of House Team to ensure our guests stay is always memorable.
