We’re Chilled Pubs — 7 food-led gastro pubs across the Midlands, built on warm hospitality, seriously good food & drink, and teams full of personality. We’re looking for a Financial Controller to lead finance across Chilled Pubs; keeping us accurate, organised and compliant, while helping us make smarter decisions for the future. We’re a family-run business, which means we care deeply about the details. But we also need someone who is curious — someone who wants to improve processes, ask the right challenging questions, and help us turn insights into better business decisions. We already invest heavily in our own systems & reporting - so we’re looking for someone who gets excited by clear information, and finding better ways to work.
